1996到97年，一股藝術上強烈的自我抵銷的想法幾乎貫穿了一切。從那個時候開始，「無作者論」變成了自己重要的想法，那段時期的創作中，充滿著消失、解體、非我、中性等關係的探索。《無名氏書寫》的創作系列作是在這樣的背景之下所產生出來的。這一系列，主要是透過大量且不同形式的「書寫」，藉以提問一個基本的問題：「誰是作者？」我在一種「我說我不在」的矛盾狀況中，同時也在一片書寫所遺留下來的符號風景裡面，隱晦、且困頓地尋找所謂的「作者」與符號之間的關係。

 

起先，《無名氏書寫》始於大量的紙上素描，這是一系列在去除文字意義下所展開的符號塗抹。後來，逐漸延展到了關於書寫的行動、空間裝置等等。就行動而言，主要是在北投附近，包含了捷運復興崗站前面的一棟閒置公寓、關渡自宅、 後山，以及某棟正在興建中的藝術館所進行的。

​

這只是一股自我的探問。作品起於無聲，最後也止於無聲。

At first, "Anonymous Writing" started with a lot of sketches on paper. This series of symbolic prints began by removing the meaning of words. Later, it gradually extended to writing actions, space installations, and so on. As far as the action is concerned, it was mainly carried out near Beitou, including a vacant apartment in front of the MRT Fuxinggang Station, my house in Guandu, the back mountain, and an art gallery under construction.

This is just a self-inquiry. The work starts silently, and ends silently.
"Anonymous Writing", from 1996 to 1997, a strong artistic self-loss almost penetrated everything. Since then, a "non-auteurism" has become an important idea for me. My works of that period were full of explorations of disappearance, disintegration, non-self and neutrality. The series of "Anonymous Writing" was produced under this background.

This series mainly uses a great number of types of "writing" to ask a basic question: "Who is the author?" I was in a contradictory situation of "I said I am not here," and at the same time, was vaguely and difficultly looking for the relationship between the so-called "author" and symbols in the symbols left over from writing.
