展覽論述：
膜拜：取“Mobile“的直接音譯，游移性、機動性；本身則是帶有儀式、身體、動作…等性質。
境：特定的場域。
戶：取“-hood”的直接音譯，本體、主體、群體，強調經驗性：本身則有「家」的意念。

「法國哲學家加斯東‧巴舍拉（Gaston Bachelard）認為空間蘊含詩意（空間詩學）。他相信人們對於一個空間的情感投射，以及賦予一個空間的詩意聯想，比任何關於那個空間的實體元素更為重要。如此一來，客觀如「距離」的存在，也能夠被轉化成擁有特殊意義、甚至充滿故事性的想像—「想像的地理」（imaginative geography）可能就這麼形成了。」

常年穿梭于美國與台灣之間，我不間斷地定位着我自己：在這個世界上，在這個「想像的地理」以及「實際的地理」（actual geography）比從前更急速縮小的年代裡（愛德華‧薩依德《東方主義》1978）。

我期望以「地理」的概念，亦或者應該說，以「解構地理」的概念作為出發點，塑造出一個反映着當代處境的身份認同。我相信權威既定的「地理身份認同」（geographical identity），好比「我是東方人，我當擁有東方人的外表、生活、文化…特徵」，是在歷史脈絡中被相對隨機斷定、闡述出來的，同時也是值得被懷疑、被檢視的。

對我來說，衝撞、搗亂因由「想像的地理」而產生的無窮表象（representations），可經由積極地吸收、改造、進化「想像的地理」本身形成的方式，藉着不斷地宣誓、定義「個體」存在並游移于不同既定「地理」界域之間的「主體性」、「不可抹滅性」，來達成。在此蛻變的過程中，「地理」空間的「神秘化」以及「去神秘化」是由「個體」主導，促使真誠、有意義的「個體／主體」身份認同，可以被深刻地提升出來。

展覽中，我運用似乎帶有微微文化性的物件與裝置組合，創造出個人化、儀式化的場景。藉由實際做出這些來自私人經驗深處、舉行不明儀式的「境戶」，也創造出具有身體性、互動性，並能夠不斷循環產出許多動人、個人化經驗和故事的場所。

Mobile: ability to move freely.
-scape: a specific type of scene.
-hood: the embodiment of a certain quality based on experience and agency.

“The French philosopher Gaston Bachelard once wrote about what he termed the poetics of space. He believed that what we endow a space with poetically and emotionally is much more important than the physicality of the space itself. Such objective concept as distance here is converted into something meaningful and even story-filled—an imaginative geography made possible."

Having spent my adulthood in between Taiwan and America, I locate myself in this world constantly. A world in which the reaches of imaginative and actual geography had shrunk (Edward Said, Orientalism 1978), more than ever before.

With this project, I seek to situate a contemporary identity of my own based on geography, or more accurately, on the deconstruct of geography. I believe such thing as an assigned “geographical identity” is somewhat arbitrary, defined, and furthermore contestable.

To me, one way to disrupt the cosmos of representations brought upon by imaginative geography (i.e. the West verses the Orient) is through actively adopting and altering the very method of imaginative geography itself, by claiming the agency of one’s undeniable experiences existing in between preconceived borders. It is through this ongoing process of transformation and assertion that personalized mystification and demystification of spaces could be achieved; and similarly, through which an identity genuine to one’s personhood could be fostered.

I turn my diffusely culturized objects and installations into personalized scenes of anonymous rituals. By creating ambiguous and ceremonial sites that come from an intimate, private place, I also make room for establishing with the space new bodily relationships that could become moving and generative to more personalized experiences.
