台灣境內的蝸牛至少有兩百多種，而非洲大蝸牛這個外來物種，卻啟動了藝術家對這塊島土與身分認同的探尋旅程，它體內不斷分泌的黏液，在行走的途中留下痕跡，移動與書寫出一張張的心靈地圖；藉由回訪路徑去感受一個社會的地理紋理，企圖尋找出如食物鏈般的連結來描繪這個文化地景，繼續的去挖掘或披露生命裡更深層的黏稠關係。
歡迎光臨蝸牛樂園！
展場紀錄 Exhibition image record
Over two hundred kinds of snails exist in Taiwan, but the giant African snail, an alien species, triggered the artist to embark on a journey in exploring her self identity and geographical identification. Snails constantly secrete mucus, leaving traces wherever they move, allowing them to draw various mind maps through their specific mobility. By the returning visits to the aboriginal tribes and experiencing the social geographical texture of the locale, the artist attempts at mapping the complex food chain-like interconnections of the locality in order to portray its cultural landscape, and continues to unearth and disclose the deeper and viscous relationships in life.
Welcome to Snail Paradise!
