直至消逝之中 until it vanished

An isolated chapter 斷章

etching, the copper empty plate 銅板蝕刻，磨光銅版
15 x 15 cm, 425 panels

1/1, unique
2013

將銅版印一次，打磨一次，印一次，打磨一次，印一次，直至銅版被我打磨至光滑，所有痕跡消失掉。它回到起點。
Printed and polished, printed and polished, printed and polished...until all the traces disappeared. The plate went back to its starting point, smooth and shiny.


我在想，然後有天我死了，我要把這件作品密鋪在棺材中，然後火化掉。做藝術的死了，銅版已磨光了，作品也燒了，是給這件作品來個終極的消失。就像從沒有發生過。
And i am thinking, someday i die, this piece of works can tessellate in my coffin, going cremation with me. The artist, the marks on plate, the artwork, all will be disappearing on the earth. Seems it has never been existed.

and it was/they were never seen again 而 它/它們 再也沒有出現

and it was/they were never seen again 而 它/它們 再也沒有出現

6/7, "Did it disappear, or did it really exist?"

6/7：『究竟它是消失了，還是從沒有存在過？』

artist statement

I have nothing to tell you

I am writing a love letter to you, just like all lovers do. But I have nothing to tell you. I just want to keep you in my mind; in order not to forget you and reminding myself the existence of you. It is impossible for me not to forget about you as time goes by. It is inevitable that you will be disappearing from my mind, but I will try to keep you in mind, so I will think of you more often.

Your shadow keeps showing up; from time to time, day by day. Your appearance is not eternal; you will fade out gradually. You are wandering in the paradox of existence and disappearance.

In the paradox of existence and disappearance

It seems like that there is a conflict between existing and disappearing. It seems like that they are contradicting each other. Every existence implies death, for which death is the final destination for every existence.

生與死的同時存在.

The approaching of death awakes the awareness of being. If our existence has no limitation, it will be transgressing the law of life.

My work is thriving from the paradox of existence and disappearance. The form in which my work started is the form in which it will end. From emptiness emerges my creation; after enduring the exhaustion for defining existence, emptiness once again returns. Life is a circle, and this circle will not be complete if it is not returning (death) to the original form.
