20x20x31.5 cm

複合媒材\壓克力箱\鐵件\硬幣

挑選桃園升值要件：藝文特區、國際機場、高架交通、綠意公園、醒目三角窗等，仿做成立體模型。

在模型外部蓋上透明展示箱，並在展示箱上設有四個投幣孔，提供觀眾投幣，直到淹沒模型使為完整。桃園因埤塘遍佈而有千塘鄉之稱。作品中以錢喻水，藉由投幣於模型中，轉化為水都之意象，猶如風水學裡的水流象徵錢潮般，將當今商機趨勢與桃園本身做進一步的關係探討。

高牆-省目廣告

高聳的大型廣告牽連資本化及商機性的考量，也成為城市不可或缺的景觀。因此以「高牆」來象徵某種權力、高資本的形象，而「型錄」則是以大量抽樣踏查的方式拍攝自身所成長的地方桃園，捕捉城市曾經繁華的輪廓。試圖從廣告內容觀看台灣過去的變遷的狀態，從廣告位置觀看城市發展的消長。

人潮定義了商業的走向，而遺留下來的廣告牆面也反映了人潮在城市裡的狀態。近年桃園升格直轄市後商圈轉移加速，在創作過程中，試著經由自身的踏查路徑、攀爬廣告高牆上及桃園區域的文史調查等方式與「城市」對話。好奇一座城市在興衰發展的結構中，渺小而快速流逝的自身如何面對僅存於眼前的龐然繁華的洪流沖刷，在喧囂、疏離的街道中鏡射城市的進步與淘汰，而反思自身流連於此時此刻的意義。

The giant advertising gradually became an essential part of the city scene thanks to the market capitalization and the business opportunities. The “high wall” symbolizes some power and image of capitalism, and the “catalog” records the growth of the Taoyuan city itself by the numerous sampling and inspection to capture the past scene of the bustling city. We are trying to snoop Taiwan’s changes from the past to the present by using advertising content that reflects the growth and decline of a city.

The preference of the majority of people leads the opportunities for business. Those advertisements surviving from the changes of the city represent the situation of current people’s preference. The Taoyuan city grows even fast in recent years thanks to the promotion of the municipality. We try to interact with the city in our creative process by walking through the old streets, climbing on the top of advertising, and investigating the literature and history in Taoyuan. We are fascinated in how a city evolves from the deterioration of the times, and how people who live in this city cope with it. Standing in the hustle and indifferent streets, one can see the development and recession of the city and think about why we’re here.

高牆-城市多面鏡

三頻道錄像

以此面高牆為拍攝地點，有幾項考量：1.蒐集的廣告牆中「診所類型」的廣告最多。 2.此地點涵蓋早期台灣交通建設之重要元素：省道、鐵路、高架橋。 3.此地域六交叉路口+一高架橋之複雜交通，而人潮與店面卻寥寥可數，訴說著城市變遷的狀態。

透過藝術家之行為，以消除替代消逝，用最小工程、最小單位、最小動能的方式，磨除廣告而還原高牆建築本身，鏡射出城市的地域狀態。模擬昔日油漆師傅，爬上城市高處近距離的觀看廣告牆與觀看廣告所宣傳出去的城市視野。以三個角度拍攝，記錄自身、高牆與街區環境的關係，城市景觀在打磨的過程中逐漸改變，以最小的行為規模回應這座變遷中的城市。

Eliminating but not vanishing. Through the way of the minimum of construction, the minimum of unit, and the minimum of energy to wipe out the advertising and maintain the building of the “high wall,” one can declare the regional condition of the city. Imitating the past painter, we climb to the top of the building to inspect the advertising wall and look down the view like this advertising wall looking at the city. Taking the photo from the view of the recording itself, high wall, and streets, the image of this city gradually changes with the polishing process. This is how we respond to the changes in the city with as little movement as possible.

高牆-時代泥灰

Urban Residual Marl

100x150x15 cm

壓克力、塵沙、水泥

打磨機不停的高速旋轉帶著身體往前移動，噴發的粉塵佈滿全身及空氣中，眼前事物彷彿變緩慢了，時間變得很長很長，耐性越來越薄弱，眼罩早已模糊視線，但雙手胳臂卻已經與打磨機合為一體，進入城市內部了。

完成後，踏回地面，原本斑剝褪色的漆面化為粉末靜靜的落下，地面厚厚一層的斑斕色點，以不同形式更去貼近變遷中時間的意涵。

將褪去的粉塵與水泥重新推砌為時間性的橫向剖面，回應台灣經濟起飛階段，鋼筋水泥帶動城市發展的新境界。

The grinding machine fast rotates and brings itself moving forward. The dust emitting out from the machine covers itself and pervades in the air. The world we see slows down, the time we feel elapses longer and longer, and our endurance becomes weaker and weaker. The eye mask has blurred our sight, and our arms have integrated into the grinding machine and become part of the city. After all of this, we land on the ground. Suddenly, the faded painted wall turns to the dust and falls on the ground. The gradually thickening dust displaying colorful spots more closes the meaning of the wheel of time.
