Concept Art: Exploring the concept of conceptual concepts

This I picked up at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei:

"meta: more cpmprehensive: transcending- used with the name of a discipline to designate a new but related discipline designed to deal critically with the original one."

"This work utilizes the interplay of light and shadow cast by the projection of architecture works onto different media, juxtaposed with the movement and silhouette of the audience, to create a semblance of dream-like reality, that questions our perception of being and space."

"The experience is an abstract of the real- a constant shift between micro and macro, part and whole, ephemeral and perpetual, that echoes the allegory of the Dream of the Red Chamber."

"Truth becomes fiction when fiction's true; Real becomes not-real where the unreal's real."

I have absolutely no idea in what concrete way this could be useful to the layperson.
