work 13: 製造（完美的）世界

在維園燭光晚會台下等七百萬個認識與不相識的朋支。因為等待，時間變得有意義...(從白雙全兄學到)20年了，時間愈長，意義愈深!明晚維園見!

work 12: Waiting for a Friend (without Appointment)

Without appointment, I selected a place to wait for a friend. This time, Jacky appeared at 16:38. He asked me, “Why do you know I will walk through there?” I told him, “I don’t know… But I have waited you for a long time!”

work 11: Open the Door FOR THE PEOPLE

Open the Door FOR THE PEOPLEDV NTSC, color stereo, 11min 59sec2007[informations/資料]
Most of the public space in Tokyo have installed automatic door for their entrance and exit. I found an art museum which didn't use automatic door for the main entrance. I stayed there helping visitors to open the door.

Work 12: A Seat Heated by Human Temperature

Starting from the 28th January 2003, I recorded the temperature coming from the seats of passengers just left. The warmth coming from the body of a stranger passed to me directly through a seating place, although we never know each other before or after. Recorded references include date, venue and identities of passengers (as far as possible). The data showing here is between 2003-1-1 and 2004-3-31.

work 8: Tribute to - for the male artists along my way

Tribute to - for the male artists along my wayDV PAL, black & white, 2min 24sec2008

The show was in Osage Beijing last year. The six male artists participating in the show are all my friends since the art school days. They travelled to Beijing for the set up and opening. I joined them for some visits for a few days. During the trip, I was introduced as the artist's girlfriend, even without a name. This is the only time I think about Feminism Art.

Work 8: Love Letter for LC

我在書店買了四本書，四本書名的頭一個字順序讀下來就是：我在想你。
I bought 4 books form the bookstore. If you read the first word of the names of each book vertically, you will get a message: I am thinking of you. (In Chinese)
