Metamorphosis by Hsiang-Lin Wang 我覺得人和人之間存在著既親密，卻又極近複雜的巧妙關係。身為人類活著本身就不是一件容易的事，我們常藉由很多外在行為以掩飾內心的恐懼，但似乎很難好好檢視自己。

Elles se rendent pas compte. (They don't realize.) by Armand Yerly The materials are chosen by instinctive criterias, but if I had to explain them, I would say that on one hand I am (almost inevitably) in a recycling perspective, and on the other that I choose a material for his “reality level“, which has to be high enough. For instance, I consider wood to be more “real“ than paper or cardboard (not used) as it is less moldable, less easily accessible, thus more efficient. Paint for example is generally avoided, as its “thickness“, or “reality level“ is very small on this instinctive scale.'
All's Well, Ends Well: A dou show presented by Run Amok Gallery The movie itself is used as a mean by En Ning to traverse through spatial and temporal boundaries; it also acts as a tool to select and extend her imagination, claiming these scenes as hers.

Wolfgang Tillmans at the Serpentine Gallery 平面攝影之所以吸引人，在於影像跳轉在隨機和審慎之間的傳真性。照片影像有太多的再製和輸出方式，意義能夠一再的添覆和翻轉；接受社會檢視之餘，即使光影下的物件已隨底片成像或註記在感光元件之上，也無時無刻隨著時代改變，不斷自行增生意義。
