以材料科學的視角看待自然環境發生的「掉漆」，最後挪用工業上材料耐候試驗的鹽霧噴灑測試方式，並以園藝用品搭建一處人工的「生鏽靈芝」培育溫室裝置。損耗的材質紋理如何「被賦予」意義？如同手機保護套用久了就該丟掉的遲疑。保護產品的加工複合材料的測試，與用來加速生產的鏽蝕紋路，兩者的逆反與矛盾，體現在承認與放棄的痕跡記憶之間游移。


The phenomenon of “Lak Tshat” (or literally “peeling paint” in Taiwanese) that occurs naturally is examined from a materials science perspective, adapting the method of salt spray test used in industrial weatherproof testing. A greenhouse is constructed using gardening tools and supplies, where “Rust Lingzhi” (Lingzhi, Ganoderma lucidum, also known as reishi, is a polypore fungus) is artificially cultivated. How the patterns on exhausted materials can be “bestowed” with meaning is explored, reflecting on the kind of hesitation that one may have in instances such as tossing away a protective phone case after it has been used for a long time. While testing the composite materials on manufactured protective products, the formation of vivid patterns of rust is also accelerated at the same time. The contradiction and paradox observed between the two reflect the shifting sentiments that sway between compromise and giving up when confronted with memories connected to imprints and marks.

 ．掉漆溫室 - 現地製作 Lak Tshat Greenhouse - Site-Specific
2022，噴霧系統、烤漆鐵件、鐵板、剝離油漆片
misting system, painted steel piece, iron plate, peeling paint sheet

依照展場的空間設置噴霧系統裝置，並在下方懸吊烤漆鐵片，或置放生活中常見鐵板烤漆製品，除了是考驗在封閉又開放的空間中，如何控制潮濕的程度。在不妨礙觀看與避免滑倒中，又可以有足夠的潮濕感使得鐵片加速產生鏽蝕的痕跡，並且在短期的展覽時間中會有痕跡上的改變，與隨著重力滴下的鐵鏽，成為時間累積證據的載體。

A misting system is installed according to the exhibition space, with polymer coated iron sheets suspended below, or other common coated objects. The objective is to test how humidity can be controlled inside an enclosed yet also relatively open space. Moreover, without interfering with the viewing experience and also without causing people to slip and fall, humidity is added to speed up the corrosion process on the metal and for rust marks to manifest and change throughout the short period of the exhibition. The rust that then drips down due to the force of gravity then becomes a carrier that proves the accrual of time.

．鏽液採集 Collecting of Rust Liquid
2022，白膠、鐵鏽、食鹽 white glue, rust, table salt

白膠在濕度的變化中介於白色與透明的「隱藏」特性 ，乾燥之後同時如皮膜般質感，往往是附著於主體用完即丟的中介材料，在此用來收集「掉漆溫室」剩下的鏽液。

一是鹽霧液體幾百個小時循環運作不斷累積的鏽液，並將此過程，作為展覽必須「作品化」，名正言順展示「痕跡」的時間點。

二是對現場噴霧鐵件流下的鏽液進行採集，除了是時間不斷累積的動態捕抓，同時也可以用來對C-Lab園區管理中心「掛保證」，展覽結束之後場地要「恢復原狀」的承諾，因為這就是作品在做的事情。
