In a way, an inquiry such as "Can objects speak?" can be assumed as a silly question. The expression mode that writers having a conversation with objects are often represented in cultural languages such as literature, poem and songs. As we are familiar with cliches like 'a song of flowers' and 'whispering winds', we are already accustomed to recognizing a conversation with objects as a method of expression such as personifications and metaphors. Like this, it is true that there have been an attempt to deal with ontological awareness of abstract beings and objects while communing with them.
Nevertheless, we need to pay attention 'yet again' that the igniter of an act of whispering from the title of the exhibition 'Whispering Forest' is an object, not a human. The existence of objects are not given by human as an operation method, for example, personifications, but this kind of attributions have been existed since the dawn of man.
The statement of two artists approaches to the philosophy of language theory by the philosopher, 'Walter Benjamin'. Benjamin classifies languages into four categories; 'Language of Creativity', in which, naming objects through creating ("Be light"- Genesis 1:3), 'Language of Adam' that reaches to the pure stage of recognition through entitling objects (After the LORD God formed from the ground every wild animal and every bird that flies, he brought each of them to the man to see what he would call it. Whatever the man called each living creature became its name. Genesis 2:19), 'Language of Judgment' is what we use in real the world. Lastly, the 'Language of Objects' that desists from talking. 'Language of Judgment' is a substitute and an imitation of 'Language of Adam' that has been lost at the same time when Adam was expelled from the Garden of Eden due to the degradation as a human being and this language circles around the essence of objects, failing to comprehend them. Then and not till then, humans have lost their ability to sense the uniqueness of each objects and started to recognize them through concepts. Nature, those has been denied their essence, keep their silence by speaking language that cannot be heard.
Eddie Kang and Teo Yang let audiences to pay attention once again to the value of the objects what we have now lost via 'Initiating a Conversation' with the silent objects. Also, the act of 'Initiating a Conversation' accompanies the unique view of two artists on the originality of existences by working through ceramics, paintings and sculptures. This kind of act is a mimesis; effort to approach the supernatural quality what humanity have lost. On the other side, these challenges can be regarded as an unfamiliar and even worthless act to those who communicates with an actual language and comprehend everything in that boundary.
