As the Crow Flies is an interdisciplinary installation by Joanna Chia-yu Lin that blends painting, textiles, sound, and photography. Drawing inspiration from the phrase "As the Crow Flies," which symbolizes the direct distance between two points.
Joanna’s third solo exhibition in Norway reflects on the shifting meaning of place and the notion of home. It captures the complex emotions of moving and migration—longing, guilt, and the ache of being caught between two worlds.
At its core are over 200 soft photographic sculptures, crafted using a self-developed mixed-media technique that combines photography, painting, textiles, and industrial materials. A soundscape of spoken words and ambient sounds, paired with textile backdrops, weaves through the installation, extending the narrative and inviting viewers to explore the connections between the various mediums.
The artist will be present throughout the exhibition—feel free to stop by for a chat!
The exhibition is supported by Regionale prosjektmidler for visuell kunst (KiN), Kulturrådet and Norsk Fotografisk Fond (FFF) utstillingsstøtte.

As the Crow Flies er en tverrfaglig installasjon av Joanna Chia-yu Lin som kombinerer maleri, tekstiler, lyd og fotografi. Den henter inspirasjon fra uttrykket "As the Crow Flies," som symboliserer den direkte avstanden mellom to punkter.
Joannas tredje soloutstilling i Norge reflekterer over de skiftende betydningene av sted og ideen om hjem. Den fanger de komplekse følelsene knyttet til flytting og migrasjon—lengsel, skyldfølelse og den indre konflikten ved å være fanget mellom to verdener.
Kjernen i utstillingen bestĂĄr av over 200 myke fotografiske skulpturer, laget med en egenutviklet teknikk som kombinerer fotografi, maleri, tekstiler og industrielle materialer. Disse verkene setter kontrasterende teksturer opp mot hverandre og skaper et samspill mellom mykhet og struktur. Et lydlandskap med talte ord og ambient lyd, kombinert med tekstile bakgrunner, vever seg gjennom installasjonen, utvider fortellingen og inviterer publikum til ĂĄ utforske forbindelsene mellom de ulike uttrykkene.
Kunstneren vil være til stede under hele utstillingen—håper å se deg der for en prat!
Utstillingen er støttet av Regionale prosjektmidler for visuell kunst (KiN), Kulturrådet og Norsk Fotografisk Fond (FFF) utstillingsstøtte.
