Photography Installation
2009
這件作品是以一種地方的生活經驗為起始，建立於我在花蓮縣豐濱鄉港口部落（Makutaay）生活半年左右的經歷。
透過在部落的生活與觀察，慢慢理解部落女性在傳統母系社會架構逐漸消失之下的心路歷程，並透過相機共同完成她們心目中理想的婚紗，以及實現拍攝婚紗的願望。這些影像同樣透露著他們的轉變、歡笑與惆悵，甚至愛與夢想。
2009春天
透過在花蓮縣港口村的生活與觀察，
聆聽原住民婦女訴說的關於部落與環境變遷的故事，
並以共同創造的方式，一起完成拍攝她們夢想中的婚紗。
這是一個尚未完成且仍在持續進行的計劃，
以一種隨著時間、並貼近於當地生活的步調緩慢進行著。
This work is based on a local life experience as a start, that is my life experience in working with many people of the tribe (Makutaay) about half a year in Gangkou village of Fengbin Township of Hualien County. Thanks to everything experienced in life, in fact, it is a complex intertexture with local politics, histories, and contemporary activities fields, on which we can see the different experiences and meanings of the world, and diverse relationship among people.
This work is through the tribal life and observation to understand tribal women under the slowly disappearing framework of the traditional matriarchal society, and to accumulate the stories from their statements in everyday listening and chatting. These stories have implied the fact of existence: the political intrusion on the central and local units, economical and political relations between locals and outsiders, and imagination or fighting each other, the rapid changes in the generation for the role of women in social transformation, etc., which have directly and immediately become a way of life and a choice. I join them as the outside bystander to share the embarrassment for their changing role, laughter and melancholy, and even love and dream.
The sound portion of the work was an oral narration by a female voice. The content was previously referred to the daily accumulation of a segment on Makutaay life events, legends, or stories.The images are common completion and implementation of their ideal bridal veil, and the desire for wedding pictures by using the camera and mutual trust.

她們經常嚷嚷著想拍婚紗，只要看到我，特別是拿相機的時候。
這裡的女人都結過婚，有許多還不只結過一次，而且，她們幾乎都有好幾個孩子。婚姻像是生命中的某種必然，不少人是有了 孩子或是夫妻生活了很久才去登記結婚，更不用說大肆慶祝、渡蜜月或拍婚紗這類紀念性的活動。 但是我見到的她們，幾乎總是自己一個人。
〈文字來源：展場聲響其中一則朗讀〉
Whenever they see me and especially carrying a camera, they often clamor for wedding photography.Most of the women here have gotten married, while some got married for more than once. They also have several children in life.Marriage is like a necessity of life. Some people only register for marriage after having children or when they have lived together for a long time, not to mention commemorative activities such as wanton celebration, honey noon or wedding photography.However, whenever I see them, they are almost always by themselves.
