Note Passing, 2025

Fiona Yun-Jui Chang

Two-dollar bills, ink,carbon sheet

Note Passing uses banknotes as a storytelling platform to hold traces of emotional labor and quiet resistance in public life. Each altered two-dollar bill carries a single line of text, something between a rumor, a whisper, and sometimes a burst of consonants before words take shape. Over the course of the exhibition, these fragments will be released into circulation through everyday exchanges and anonymous placements.

About the Artist

Fiona Yun-Jui Chang 張昀叡 was raised in a Hakka family in Taiwan, an island in the northeastern Pacific with many names and an unsettled history. Her work spans photography, text, installation, and participatory workshops, exploring human relationships across geographies and languages. Her recent projects center on impermanence, touch, and quiet forms of resistance—using fragile materials and poetic gestures to trace stories that often go unrecorded. Fiona sees art as a way to foster collective (un)learning, and her practice often draws on migration, multilingualism, and lived encounters. She lives in Los Angeles and collaborates regularly with cultural workers in Taiwan, the U.S., and Europe.
