我在志願者手臂上纏上粉紅膠帶。整個活動進行期間﹐只要有志願者舉手﹐其他志願者就

要跟著舉手﹐每次舉手時間要持續1到2分鐘。此作與《揪團》一樣﹐志願者從沉默客觀的

觀眾身份被扭轉成為藝術行動的主體﹐成為被觀注的對象。作品亦不再定時定點一氣呵成,
而是分散與流動的。

I wrapped pink tape on one arm of every volunteer.  During the event, all the volunteers had to raise their pink arms if one of the volunteers raised his.  Each time, it should last for at least 1 to 2 minutes.  This piece, like Jo Twan, is a new form of performance for me.  Volunteers had no longer been the silent objective audience but became the subject of an art action and the subject of being gazed.  The happening or the works was no longer fixed in a certain point or place, but became dispersed and floating in time and space.

我徒手垂打桌上番茄﹐以刀插蕃茄請觀眾吃。之後矇住觀眾雙眼﹐再以刀插蕃茄請矇眼觀眾吃。多數觀眾張口接受﹐只有一位拒絕張口。

I hit the tomatoes with my hands after which I served the audiences with tomato stick on a knife.  After that, I folded their eyes and, again, served them with tomato stick on the knife.  Most of them accepted it, while only one of them refused to open her mouth.

地上有一長條黑布﹐中間車線成兩條布隧道。我以書寫邀請一位觀眾和我一起同時個自爬過那隧道。爬出布隧道後﹐我在桌上以雙手做一些動作﹐然後邀請那位觀眾加入與我互動。慢慢我開使用力﹐友好的互動突變成兩人雙手的角力。最後兩人在紙上和談﹐結束這趟既友亦敵的手語過程。

A long black cloth was sewed into two tunnels.  I wrote to invite an audience to crawl through the tunnels with/without me.   Then I did some movements with my hands and asked him to join me.  At first, we have a nice interaction.  However, as I strengthened little by little, the friendly interaction became something like wrestling. We even bit each other’s…. Finally, we negotiated by writing/talking on the paper, and thus ended this process of half friend and half enemy.
