自 述
我从学生时代以来都是通过表演解决自身的各种问题， 早期是治疗自己的心理问题，慢慢调整个人和世界的角度， 减少自己由于生理及心理上所带来的深度自卑感， 然后将行动中遇到的困难和局限重新利用渐渐形成作品的方法， 我们都害怕错误与局限，害怕语言的错误身体的错误，我从错误中展开自己的艺术实践，记录和重复每一种错误，使语言叠加语言，我将所有的剧场要素 —— 故事、行动、音响、灯光、构成、姿势等打碎成最小的构成单位，直接呈现思想的状态、过程和行动，让空间构造、光线、口述录音、影像、皮影表演、朗诵、器乐、舞蹈等语言手段组成一种复合交互作用体，从2007年以来，已持续推出了美术馆剧场、家庭剧场、架上剧场、剧院剧场等在内的多个项目。在当代艺术的范畴中，从亚洲历史与地域政治出发，探讨更为广泛的议题，并在图像、声音、文本、现场及特定空间的不断实验中，尝试拓展媒介本身的定义。我将小人物的平凡故事、新闻事件等场景都挪到作品当中，展开对于世界的叙述和想象，记录这个社会转型时代之中被遮蔽的情感和事件，还有普通人所要承受的代价和命运发生的改变。

Artist statement
Ever since I was a student, performance has helped me to solve all kinds of problems. At first, I cured my own psychological problems by learning to perform. Then performance helped me to position myself in the world and eased the sense of inferiority caused by my physical and mental shortcomings. Eventually, the difficulties and limitations that I faced in performance became the resources I used to form my artistic methodology.
We are all afraid of facing limitations. We are all afraid of making mistakes — making mistakes with our words and making mistakes with our bodies. My art practice began with mistakes. My art is a record of each of my mistakes, and it repeats them. One language overlaps with another. I work with the essential elements of theatre art — story, action, sound, lighting, construction, and gesture — and break them into the smallest possible units, in order to reveal the condition, process, and movement of thought in the most direct way. In my work, I hope that multiple elements such as space, construction, light, oral record, image, puppetry, poetry reading, musical instruments, and dance will combine and act as an interactive entity.
Since 2007, I have initiated several projects, including the Museum-Theatre Project, the Family-Theatre Project, the Painting-Theatre Project, and the Theatre-Theatre Project. Within the field of contemporary art, I attempt to break away from the boundaries of discipline and concept. I bring in stories from the news and of ordinary people that I meet to create my own narration and imagination of the world. I hope to document unnoticed emotions and events in a time of social transformation, the price that people have to pay to live, and the twists and turns of their destinies.
