理念 Statement
「『觀人小築』是因地制宜的作品，緊扣關渡自然公園的賞鳥主題，園區內為人類興建數座賞鳥小屋，提供隱密與互不驚擾的賞鳥空間；但我想翻轉這個印象，為鳥類製作『觀人小築』，將兩者的身分對調。」這些作品將完全依照賞鳥小屋的外觀縮小，設立在長木柱上以利鳥類棲息，具備良好視野；開啟一側讓鳥兒隨意進出，並設置於賞鳥小屋附近，使遊客能同時欣賞兩種構造物。

「我不想添加任何異國風味在作品中；相反的，我希望利用已有物品增加趣味性，製造新奇卻不同的關係。或許會造成某些觀賞者的反感，但更大的可能將是激發人們，以新的理解力觀察事物。」

The work “humanwatching cabins” is a site-specific work that relates to one of Guandu Nature Park’s main issues: birdwatching.  There are a number of different cabins in the park designed for people to watch birds without being seen and without disturbing them.  This image I want to invert.  I want to create “humanwatching cabins” for the birds so that the birds can also watch people without being seen.  This means a change from being subject to object and vice versa.

The “humanwatching cabins” should be EXACT copies of the birdwatching cabins in the park, like little architectural models (maquettes).  The “humanwatching cabins” will be open on one side so that the birds can really walk in if they like.  The “humanwatching cabins” will sit on long wooden or bamboo poles so that the birds can easily reach them and so that the birds have a good view over the people.  The “humanwatching cabins” will be distributed in different places in the park.  They should be close to the birdwatching cabins, so that the visitor can have both of the cabins in one sight.
