Princess of Eight Treasures
Our aim for this event is to associate purchasing with a ceremonial act. Money serves not only to connect buyers with physical goods and NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens), but also to link the ghost of the "Princess of Eight Treasures“， a Taiwanese folklore figure, with contemporary society. This Dutch princess came to Kenting, Taiwan in the 17th century to find her lover, but unfortunately, she passed away. Later, she became a local deity. We aim to raise funds for her spirit to acquire a passport and visa to return to Holland.
We view money and goods as a medium, a type of magic that helps individuals connect two intangible worlds: the current era of cryptocurrency and ghosts from different time periods. Customers who purchase the "Princess of Eight Treasures“ statue have the option to burn it in a ritual outside the exhibition hall, where we will provide a brazier and a ceremony. Upon burning, they will receive a code to redeem an NFT inside the statue. The ceremony's objective is twofold: to help Princess acquire a passport and visa to return to Holland and to wish the buyer good fortune in their travels or immigration while avoiding any unforeseen disasters.
