在「 2013港深城市\建築雙城雙年展」（ 下稱：建築雙年展 ）北角碼頭展場旁邊有一本《地獄遊記》，它將做為此事的開端。

2013年12月11日，「建築雙年展」開幕儀式在觀塘「起動九龍東」辦公室舉辦，過­程中台灣參展人柯念璞遭受不當驅離，很難不讓同在香港駐村、也同為台灣藝術工作者的我­注意此事，雖然這麼說，並不代表其他在此雙年展中紛紛表態反對的香港及外國藝術家不值­得敬佩。在經過一段訪談、追索之後，港深建築雙年展的結構及操作方法實在令人驚艷，對­比於台灣逐漸將藝術、文創作為經濟救贖的想像，「建築雙年展」不僅關乎經濟範疇，其背­後之核心恐怕直指政治問題(包含中國如何想像它的未來之問題)。

在地獄裡面有一種裝置叫做「孽鏡台」，為亡魂入地獄的第一道檢查關卡，「孽鏡台」照出­一個一生所有罪孽，我完全同意陳界仁所說的，這是人類早期所發明出來的影像監控系統。­其實「孽鏡台」是一種工具，我們也想反過來使用它。在影片中，我們重演了柯念璞當天遭­受「那位女士」(某疑似便衣警察╱特務╱保安人員女士)不當的驅離，試著將雙年展作為­政治經濟籌碼的問題照射出來，這件事雖然僅是雙年展衝突的局部，但「那位女士」所代表­的，可能是雙年展之手、是特首辦公室之手、更可能是推動香港貧富差距擴大之手，「那位­女士」唯一不代表的，是她自己。


About Video:

A book, Journeys to the Under-World (also called Voyages to Hell), placed aside exhibition area at North Point Ferry Pier of 2013 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\ Architecture Hong Kong (UABB) unveiling this happening. 

UABB’s opening was held at Energizing Kowloon East Office (EKEO) in Kwun Tong on 11 December, 2011. An exhibitor, Alice Ko from Taiwan was evicted during this formal event, which attracted my attention as a Taiwanese artist taking part in a residency programme in Hong Kong. I, in the meantime, respect also the artists who withdrawn from UABB. When art and cultural industries is becoming a kind of economic salvation in Taiwan, UABB is not merely about economy, but implicitly more about politics (implying the way how China imagines the future of Hong Kong) after my investigation of it. 

An installation named, "Kama Mirror" is the first checkpoint in hell, which can depict all sins of a person throughout his/her life. Chen Chieh-jen mentioned it as an ancient image surveillance system that I couldn’t agree more. The eviction process reproduced in my video attempting to reflect issues of political economy derived from UABB by emphasizing unreasonable action of “that lady” (suspected of plain-clothes police, secret police or security guard). Though this was part of the conflicts incurred by UABB, “that lady” was presenting/ implying the drive of UABB, Chief Executive’s Office or more probably of widening disparity between the rich and the poor. “That lady” only could not represent herself.
