同名系列 Eponymous Series
命名，往往是一種權力。然而，對藝術家謝騆瑜而言，混種生命拒絕被單一名稱所固定。
自 2015 年起，她持續圍繞「混種」與「滅絕」兩條創作軸線展開實踐。2021 年，她進一步發展出名為「同名系列」（Eponymous Series）的方法：以同一名稱作為核心，透過不同媒材、配置與展示脈絡，衍生出多件名稱相同卻各自獨立的作品。
這些作品彼此獨立，卻又互相關聯；如同物種在演化過程中的變異與分化。名稱在此不再是指向單一對象的標籤，而更像是一種持續繁衍、擴散與變形的生命系譜。 此系列包含《孢鳴魚》、《撿漿者》、《妖魚獺誌》等作品。因應不同展示條件與場域需求，部分作品會以副標題加以區分，但其核心身分始終共享同一個名字。
Naming is often an act of power. Yet for artist Jhouyu Hsieh, hybrid beings resist being fixed by a single name.
Since 2015, Hsieh’s practice has evolved around two long-term trajectories: hybridity and extinction. In 2021, she developed an approach she calls the Eponymous Series, in which a single title serves as the generative core for multiple independent works.
Through shifts in medium, configuration, and exhibition context, each work emerges as a distinct iteration while retaining the same name. These works are independent yet interconnected, much like variations within an evolving species. Here, a name no longer functions as a label attached to a singular object; instead, it becomes a living lineage capable of proliferation, mutation, and transformation. The series includes Sporosonic Fish, The Sap-Gatherer, The Classic of Tilapia-eating Monster, among others. In response to different exhibition contexts, some works are distinguished by subtitles, yet their core identity remains rooted in a shared name.
