The invasion of boundaries happens in the present moment,

You crossed the line, yet remain unaware.

When you discover a small hole in the exhibition hall, you unconsciously approach it to observe. As you bring your face closer, thermochromic paint undergoes changes in response to the heat. Subsequently, a camera detects the color changes and captures the traces in real-time. These traces are then uploaded to a computer program for image processing, eventually being transmitted to a printer and displayed on an electronic screen.

Your trespassing behavior has been permanently recorded.

The content of the hole is a private secret deliberately hidden by the author; the image is selected from the author's most intimate act, the "bath", and is shot with a fisheye lens to increase the voyeuristic perspective and the sense of secrecy

Thanks to everyone who helped with this project.

The most intimate area records the deepest thinking patterns and behavior habits of individuals, and is also a microcosm of our daily life. In this corner, we temporarily break the bubble of psychological boundaries and return to our most authentic and peaceful selves. Therefore, the project collects the most intimate corners of 15 individuals through 3D scanning, which have strong symbolic meanings and personal significance, and behind these 15 corners are 15 individuals.

In order to achieve different privacy states, people usually choose different places. In the process of collecting spaces, I found the transition from area privacy to emotional privacy. The interviewees had similarities in choosing spaces and telling stories, but the degree of emotional privacy varied. This proves that space privacy and psychological privacy are not completely separated, and their essence has a strong correlation.

This seemingly ordinary living space is actually a reshaping of the most private corners of different individuals.

I assumed the role of an intruder, utilizing a 360 scanner to capture the private spaces of the interviewees while conducting meticulous inquiries and questioning. In order to intensify the sense of conflict and offense following the breach of privacy, I wielded power to forcefully assert dominance over others' wills.

Personal space serves as an expression of territorial consciousness. Altman (1975) proposed that privacy is the "selective control over access by others," emphasizing the ability to control one's environment according to personal preferences. Thus, privacy is not merely a state but rather a form of control. This undertaking compelled the unrelated and most intimate corners of the interviewees' hearts to be amalgamated and physically reconstructed.

The resulting space appears to be ordinary daily life, but it is actually a reshaping of space, a disappearance of individual control, and a breaking of individual boundaries.

While standing in the circle, looking at every footstep that passes me by, I find that most people have a hard time realising that mental boundaries exist.

So when I make the boundaries visible in tangible material terms, it is easier for people to judge and react to them.

Climate change accelerates the aberration process for non-humans. As the unstoppable creating process, it will continually produce more adaptive aberration to resilient this world. We create an aberration world through digital technology, generating an immersive experience for audiences to explore the abnormal world. All efforts aim to call for attention action on climate change issue.
