In Eru, the language of the Truku tribe, “Elung” means “a path.” Founder of Elung Art Corner, Don Don Houmwm, hopes to cross art disciplines and styles, to clear his vision, and to stay aware of the ancestral path. In 2009, when finished with life in Taipei, Don Don chose to return to Tongmeng where he grew up. While walking and living there, he could feel his grandparent’s breath, and found gigantic energy for creativity. His work is the story of his land. It is involved with myth, history, family, even tribal issues. All these empowered his creativity. He mingles traditional musical instruments and ideas of theatre, and further transforms performance to become installation and video. His work combines the language of harmony and conflict. He meant to establish this “Elung” to share his childhood purity, and the energy belonging to the mountain and the valley. He hopes to transmit this emotions continually.
