2015 《The Door》Experiment Film, Taipei, Taiwan 實驗影像《門》

這是一個關於失根想像與再想像的作品。關渡田野訪談對象的先驗經驗超渡創作者對於關渡的想像，因而企圖引發場域再想像。創作者藉由田野對象的相遇與歷史的追尋，建構個體對於歷史樣貌的想像，究竟我們共同經驗著什麼樣的過去，並造就我們的現在與未來。創作者成為故事的託付者，過去未曾經驗的對象與假想/重現。時間與空間不斷輪轉與異地再生，人們無處安置那些過往彼時此地的生命經驗並尋找。田野對象的先驗經驗引領創作者穿越到不同時空之中假想當時的情景。獨留一道門的田野場域，經驗定向回返穿梭。故事在空氣中漂浮迴盪，失根想像與再想像。「如果我們對於過去不理解，我們如何走向未來」訪談自當地居民，王伯伯。（此作特別感謝共同訪談者，黃柏然、魏肇儀）

In this “social experiment” photography project, my aim was to discuss the relationship between landscape and self-identity. Once here, the Taipei Guandu train station has now gone. Through conversation with local people, I started to imagine the past and invited people to reimagine the future. I built a door, located it in Guandu and observed people, and their reactions, as they passed by. “If we don’t know our history, how would we be able to reach the future?” Guando local people, Mr.Wang.

2013 Experimental Documentary 實驗紀錄短片《華光是家你拆我扛》

2013年我前往拍攝台北華光社區「華光是家你拆我扛」遊行紀錄。華光社區離我們一點都不遠，它就像每一個我們生活的過去，生活的社區，童年的回憶。看著華光社區逐漸銷毀催逝。快要被高樓大廈取代。私乎也預知台灣的未來，終將走上一條只為錢不為民的路。認識華光社區不久後，曾途經的暗夜怪手，一次一次的拆掉最後的防線與希望。我希望可以透過紀錄與敘述它的遭遇與不捨。

This is a Protest Demonstration of Hua Kuang In Taipei, Taiwan. Hua Kuang (華光), a historical community in Taipei, Taiwan, is now facing a threat of being torn down on or after Feb 24, 2013 due to the government’s outrageous land policy. So far, the local authority has neither clear land development plan nor appropriate arrangement to help settle down the current residents who have lived there for around 40-50 years and some even 60 years or more. A large number of them inherited the properties from their ancestors long before the current republic established its rule in the area. As a matter of fact, the housing structures have existed in this land since the Japanese occupation.

2014 [ Inclusion ] Photography Project in Barcelona 巴塞隆納攝影計畫 [Inclusion]

『因為離開家，才知道家的形狀』。身處巴塞隆納時，透過作品與場域、人群對話。2013年底，旅居巴塞隆納期間，進行一個攝影錄像計畫－[ Inclusion ]，攝影場域為巴塞隆納當地，此攝影之雕塑物件由紙箱、壁紙與油畫筆所形成。此作品用意為形塑台灣居處於世界未明位置。當我抵達巴塞隆納期間，我發現許多地方正積極爭取獨立，如加泰隆尼亞和蘇格蘭等地。除了訪談當的青年對於加泰隆尼亞獨立議題想法，我回過頭思考台灣主權，並引發我進行以雕塑暗喻台灣未明處境，於巴塞隆納歌德區等地進行攝影創作，透過雕塑與當地人互動，認知其反應。透過此作品拍攝與展出開啟對話與想像。作品發表於 2013年12月地點巴塞隆納 Estudio Nómada 工作室
