Hybrid Fragment System [HFS]

混種殘片系統 [HFS]

我成長於台灣傳統廟宇後院，作為一名在傳統文化裡被交託給神明的「乾兒」，這種半歸屬、半遺落的狀態，使我長期穿梭於現實與神性、分類與邊界的縫隙之中。

自 2015 年起，我建立了創作方法「詩性田野法」(1)，以在地的感知與觀察為起點展開研究，反思權力如何形塑命名，並探索命名如何持續生成不同的存在 (2)。這些研究於 2025 年逐漸演化為《混種殘片系統》（Hybrid Fragment System, HFS），一項持續收集、分類與想像混種生命的藝術計畫。

在《混種殘片系統》中，我持續建構那些誕生於生態、文化與記憶交界處的「混種生命」。我希望讓殘片的生命在被權力邏輯排除後，能重新述說自身的起點。

方法論架構：

(1) 詩性田野法 Poetic Fieldwork – 以身體為介面，結合感官記錄、場域書寫與非線性敘事的創作方法。［→]

(2) 同名系列 Shared-Title Method – 以同一名稱為核心，衍生出多件共享名稱卻各自獨立的作品。［→]

Hybrid Fragment System [HFS]

I grew up in the backyard of a traditional Taiwanese temple. As a “godchild” entrusted to a deity, a state of half-belonging and half-abandonment, I have long moved through the seams between reality and divinity, between classification and its boundaries.

Since 2015, I have developed a creative methodology called Poetic Fieldwork (1), beginning from situated perception and observation, to examine how power shapes acts of naming (2), and to explore how naming continues to generate different forms of existence. These investigations gradually evolved in 2025 into the Hybrid Fragment System (HFS), an ongoing artistic project dedicated to collecting, classifying, and imagining hybrid forms of life.

Within the Hybrid Fragment System, I construct hybrid beings that emerge at the intersection of ecology, culture, and memory, with the aim of allowing fragments of life excluded by systems of power to once again narrate their own origins.

Methodological Frameworks:
(1) Poetic Fieldwork – A methodology that uses the body as an interface for sensory recording, site writing, and non-linear narrative.［→]
(2) Shared-Title Method – A method in which a single title generates multiple autonomous works that share the same name.［→]

神話、生態、混種物種、語言、轉化
mythology, ecology, hybrid species, language, transformation

I no longer trust that names bring understanding,

nor do I submit to inherited taxonomies.

This system was built

to generate a form of existence,

so unstable that even naming becomes untenable.

Each hybrid emerges not from a single ecology, species, or cultural lineage,

but from dislocated contexts, misaligned intentions.

They carry with them trembling classifications,

obscured origins, and drifting narrative lines.

I begin my creation at the moment of their first utterance,

so that each fragment is not a flaw,

but a trace of existence not yet admitted into reality.

At a certain point, the hybrids begin to recount themselves,

and in doing so, generate themselves.

If you feel the blur of recognition,

the tremor of meaning,

that is not a mistake,

but the threshold of the hybrid’s mislayered state,

and the site where the logic of power begins to falter.
