Our passion, emotions, and attention travel through the 8 hours and 9,616.54 kilometers that separate us. Yet, in that distance, they blur. After three years without such a separation, I found myself compelled to fly to her, to see the deer and swans in quiet harmony.
This work seeks to visualize the detachment and the complex emotions that cannot be put into words. The narrative unfolds with screens of varying densities and resolutions, constructing this installation that embodies the connection across time and space.
我們的熱情、情感與關注跨越了 8 小時與 9,616.54 公里，這讓它們變得模糊。三年來從未有過的漫長分離，促使我飛往她身旁，看著鹿群與天鵝共享寧靜。
作品試圖呈現難以言語的疏離與複雜情感。不同密度與解析度的螢幕構成這組裝置藝術，映照出跨越時間與空間的連結。

This work is inspired by the absence of physical presence and the tacit intimacy between us. Our greetings stagger, but they sometimes coincide. We could not see each other in the eyes, but we are deeply connected in our minds.
We see each other in pixels, we meet each other in our minds.
I hate the internet connection in London.
Her good-nights arrive tomorrow morning,
It feels like I have to look back in time to see her.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
A Midsummer Night's Dream – William Shakespeare
作品靈感來自於我們之間缺失的陪伴和不需言語的親密。我們的問候交錯，卻偶有契合。目光無法相遇，心靈卻深深相連。
我們在像素之中看見彼此，在思緒中相逢。
我討厭倫敦的網路連線。
她的晚安總在明日清晨抵達，
感覺我必須回望過去才能看到她。
「愛情是不用眼睛而用心靈看著的，因此生着翅膀的丘比特常被描成盲目。」
仲夏夜之夢 —— 威廉·莎士比亞

This work reflects the delicate balance between "digital companionship" and "the longing for physical presence". As the audience approaches, white pixels drift toward them, symbolizing the intimacy of online connection, the attention toward each other, and the intangible space that remains between. Meanwhile, black pixels quietly recede…
The swans glide as we approach,
yet I cannot tell if they are black or white,
whether they swim toward me or drift away.
The swans are much bigger than I saw in her videos.
此作品呈現「網路陪伴」與「對在現實相伴的渴望」之間的微妙平衡。當觀眾靠近，白色像素飄向他們——象徵著網路世界的親密，彼此的關注，以及始終存在的無形間距。同時，黑色像素悄然退去…
天鵝隨著我們接近而游動，
但我無法確定它們是黑色還是白色，
牠們是在向我而來，還是漸行漸遠？
牠們比我在她的影片中看到的要巨大得多。

This work explores the subtle difference in our shared experiences with live recordings, using our favorite mediums—even on the same grass, it would never be the same as her first visit there.
She brought me to her favorite park.
The huge tree had been chopped down, but the deer remains.
But we could not tell if they were the same deer.
I still remember the lines she drew when I first met her—
how they carried something unspoken.
此作品透過使用我們各自喜歡的藝術媒介作即時紀錄，探索共享經驗中的微妙差異——即使踏上同一片草地，也無法重現她初次到訪時的感受。
她帶我去了她最喜愛的公園。
那棵巨樹已被砍伐，但鹿群仍然在那裡。
只是我們無法確定，它們是否是曾經的那群鹿。
我仍記得初次遇見她時，她所描繪的線條——
那些線條承載著未言的情感。
PREVIOUS WORK
過往作品
Oil on canvas, Projection on wall, 2024, 150 x 120 cm, 1 minute 22 seconds
This work is inspired by a large-scale protest in Seoul, Korea, where demonstrators called for an end to the killing of Palestinian children and civilians, shedding light on the ongoing conflict in Palestine. Witnessing this movement, the artist was prompted to reflect on the controlled flow of information that shapes our perception of reality, often distorting it into a romanticized vision. He also confronted his own apathy toward global events, questioning the emotional distance we maintain in the face of tragedy. Through the juxtaposition of canvas and projection, this piece merges the timeless aura of painting with precisely programmed moving images. The interplay between static and dynamic elements blurs the boundary between rational analysis and emotional response, immersing the audience in the artist's contemplation of romanticized violence and the unsettling feeling woven into the conflict.
此作品的靈感來自於韓國首爾的大規模抗議活動，示威者呼籲停止對巴勒斯坦兒童與平民的殺戮，並揭露巴勒斯坦衝突的現狀。目睹這場運動後，藝術家開始思考我們所接收的受控資訊如何塑造我們對現實的認知，並將世界描繪得過於浪漫化。他也反思了自己對全球事件的冷漠，質疑人們在面對悲劇時所維持的情感距離。 透過畫布與投影的並置，此作品將油畫的魅力與精確編程的動態影像融合，靜態與動態元素的交錯模糊了理性分析與情感反應的界線，使觀眾沉浸於藝術家對浪漫化暴力的思考，並體驗衝突中隱藏的不安。
Performance, light on wall, 4 nails, 2024, Size and duration variable.
This artwork is a choreography of live-generated moving images, featuring the artist's hands in rhythmic motion. Through symmetrical patterns and the interplay of black and white, it explores the act of mark-making with light upon the wall. The work invites contemplation: are the black lines the marks, or is it the white light that inscribes its presence?
此作品是一場以藝術家雙手的動態影像現場生成的編舞。透過對稱的圖案及黑白交錯的運動，探索光在牆面上的標記。作品邀請觀眾思考 : 究竟是黑色線條留下了痕跡，還是白色光影塑造了它的存在？
Virtual installation on Meta Quest 3 (Re-master of the physical installation), Touchdesigner, 2025, Size and duration variable.
While we sleep, the heartbeat of the metropolis never ceases—an unseen pulse that binds us to the city in ways we cannot fully comprehend. This work is inspired by the artist's vision of the city at midnight—a moment when its rhythm is both solitary and alive. The beats shift as visitors interact with the abstract circles, responding to their movements; the faster their gestures, the quicker the pulse. These sounds intertwine, forming a symphony of the city's heartbeat—an echo of its existence when it sings alone.
當我們沉睡時，都市的心跳從未停止——這股無形的脈動將我們與城市緊密相連，而我們卻難以真正理解其運行方式。 此作品的靈感來自藝術家對午夜城市的想像——一個既孤獨又充滿生命律動的時刻。當訪客在抽象圓形前移動，節奏隨之改變；動作越快，心跳越急促。這些聲音交織，匯聚成城市心跳的交響曲——在孤獨時刻低語著它的存在。
