〈家族內部〉為一件錄像作品,藝術家以家族數十年來積累的醫學影像(X光、超聲波等)為素材,透過動畫技術賦予這些影像新的流動性與時間維度。作品延續對醫學成像的探索,將技術所揭示的內部結構,從骨架邊界到臟器輪廓,轉化為視覺敘事。當不可見的內部因技術而顯影,這些影像不僅記錄生理狀態,更承載家族歷史與個人記憶的複合痕跡,重新審視這些既科學又私密的視覺檔案。
The Life Within is a video work in which the artist utilizes medical images (X-rays, ultrasounds, and other diagnostic scans) accumulated by the family over decades, imbuing them with fluidity and a sense of temporality through animation.
The work extends an exploration of medical imaging by translating internally revealed structures from skeletal boundaries to the contours of organs into a visual narrative. As technology renders the invisible interior visible, these images come to document not only physiological conditions but also layered traces of family history and personal memory. In doing so, the work invites a re-examination of visual archives that exist at once as scientific records and intimate artefacts.

「我五歲的時候,一個周日的柴灣公園,我爸嚷我爬到攀架的最高處幫我用傻瓜機拍一張照,我在比Yeah的時候失足跌到地上,額頭腫了一包外還立刻去東區醫院拍了人生第一次X光。我竟然還記得在X光室裡空蕩蕩的感覺,可能是因為不合身的檢查袍,也可能是第一次面對巨大的醫療儀器⋯⋯然後就在兩年前,我開始以家裡櫃子那一疊累積了幾十年的醫學影像做動畫,裡面混合了家人們不同時期的身體,從骨架的邊界到臟器輪廓都被清楚記錄,對我來說,都是既科學又私密的家族照片。」
