我以毛筆書寫一首關於愛情的詩﹐書寫過程當中數度躺於其上﹐黑色墨汁漸漸沾上我的身體﹐書寫完畢﹐我將詩文撕成碎片並燒了它們。帶著火光的詩文紙片自空中飄下﹐在地上形成一團團黑色的灰燼。

I wrote a poem about love and lied down on it several times during the process of writing. Gradually, the black ink printed on my body.  Then, I tore the poem into shreds and burnt them one by one.  They floated down with fire and became black ashes on the ground.

我請觀眾將蛋打入容器裡﹐我加入蕃茄醬。然後請觀眾餵我蛋汁﹐蛋汁自口溢出流經我懷胎七月的身體﹐最終流到地上碎裂的蛋殼上。然後我拿出一張海報﹐上面寫著「Human Egg vs. Animal Egg」。

I asked audience to break eggs into the jug.  Then I added ketchup to it.  After that, I asked one of the audiences to feed me with the egg juice.  It flew out of my mouth, through my seven-month-pregnant body, to the broken egg shells dispersed on the ground.  Finally, I showed a poster that said “Human Egg vs. Animal Egg.”

我將我和男子的頭髮綁在一起﹐成一髮橋。將我的衣服一一脫去﹐穿過髮橋傳給男子﹐穿到他身上。之後﹐男子再將我的胸罩﹑衣﹑裙﹑逐件脫下﹐經過髮橋還給我。 

I tied my hair with a man’s hair into a hair bridge.  I took off my wearing one by one and passed them through the hair bridge to the man.  He put them on his body.  Then he gave them back through the hair bridge to me.

觀眾在我身上塗抹紅色顏料。之後﹐我以美國國旗﹐荷蘭木屐﹐醫療用繃帶﹐和樹葉﹐訴說歷史台灣殖民與移民的故事。

The audience spread red color on my body.  Then I told the story of colonization and immigration in the history of Taiwan, with the flag of US, clogs of Holland, medical bandage, and leaves.

我用小女孩的玩意兒打扮自己﹐然後踩在一只小女孩的高跟木拖鞋上舞動身體﹐跌倒了﹐爬起再跳﹐跌倒了﹐爬起再跳。

I dressed up with the play things of a little girl after which I danced on her small high heel wooden clogs.  If I fell down to the ground, I would stand up to dance again.  So, fell down, stood up and danced.  Fell down, stood up, and danced.
