Body Monstes
身體怪物
絲蟲 學名: Morbi Cercozoa 喜愛生活在腐爛的食物中的蟲類,容易在溫熱且潮濕的環境繁殖。當人類誤食腐敗食物裡的絲蟲時,會導致腹瀉的症狀。
血仙蟲 Blood Immortal 學名: Sanguinem Polycystinea 存在於動物體內的原生生物,單體血仙蟲須要透過顯微鏡才能看見,仰賴蛋白質為生,在動物受傷時容易聚集至傷口吸收膿裡的蛋白質成分,壞死後的血仙蟲會化成紅色或褐色,堆積在傷口外層,成為俗稱的「痂」。 Blood Immortal exists in the bodies of animals. The monomer Blood Immortal must be seen through microscope. They depend on protein for living. When animal is injured, Blood Immortal will get close to wound and absorb the protein in purulence. Dead Blood Immortal will become red or brown, and accumulate on the top of the wound, which we call "Scab".
巴巴利亞牙蟲 學名: Dentem Mycetozoa 生長於巴西巴巴利亞,最大可長至成年男子手掌大小,肉食性,以比自己體型小的昆蟲或魚類為食。巴巴利亞當地居民常以牙蟲之齒做為飾品販賣,據說有祈福與驅邪的效果。
潘氏節蟲 Vanberk 學名: Nodular Oomycetes 由探險家潘貝勒克(Steven. Joe. Vanberk)於1624年航行至紐西蘭發現。潘氏節蟲生長於寒冷氣候,以苔藓為食。當地原住民會以潘氏節蟲做為一種天然的染料,當地稱為「綠染」或「蟲染」,來自越寒冷地帶的潘氏節蟲能提煉出更具有光澤的染料。
鼻咽蟲 學名: Prurientes Ciliophora 生存在動物鼻腔內的蟲類,面對鼻腔外來物時會分泌體液將外來物包覆以避免自己受到傷害,分泌的液體成為我們俗稱的「鼻涕」或「鼻屎」。
西瓦索蟲 Sivaser 學名: Coemeterio Cercozoa 由生物學家大衛西瓦索(David Sivaser)於1798年跟隨拿破崙前往埃及時發現此物種。西瓦索蟲多生長於陰暗處,以腐爛物為生。謠傳盜墓者容易在木乃伊棺旁發現大量的西瓦索蟲。
巴拉巴塊蟲 Swallower 學名: Usurpationes Acantharea 巴拉巴為《新約聖經》中記載的一名強盜,羅馬行政官彼拉多曾將其與耶穌一同綑綁至猶太民眾前,詢問二者中釋放哪一位,結果巴啦巴獲釋,耶穌遭判死刑。 巴拉巴塊蟲藉由塊狀觸角吞食體型較自身小的生物,奪取其養分並成長至拳頭大小後便一分為二,並將自身代謝產物由其中一半吸收,最後死亡。 Barabbas was a robber who was written down in Bible. The magistrate of Rome used to tie up Barabbas and Jesus to the front of Jewish people, and asked them which one to release. In the end, Barabbas was released and Jesus was sentenced to death.
阿 Oblivion 學名: Cochlea Ciliophora 寄生於動物體內的寄生蟲,吸收動物體內的醣分,因此體內阿過多會導致精神不濟、嗜睡、健忘等症狀。阿移動至耳朵產卵時會導致耳鳴。
胎蟲 Reproductist 學名: Duplex Lobosea 又稱「複製蟲」,寄居於懷胎的母體內以吸取細胞分裂時多餘的能量。會催使細胞強制分裂,因此在胚胎狀態時被強制分裂,就會形成所謂的「雙胞胎」或「多胞胎」。胎蟲強制分裂細胞過頭導致細胞分裂失控,便會產生所謂的「癌細胞」。 It exists in the body of pregnant mother. In order to absorb the energy in cell division, it enforces it happened. Therefore, when forcible cell division happens in the embryonic state, it will turn into "Twins" or "Multiple births". Reproductist may over divide cell. When it happened, cell may lose control and become "cancer cell".
We're strange to our bodies actually, even we use them all day long. We're a part of bodies. Perhaps they're also a part of us.
And I want to talk about the strangeness between each other.
我們其實對自己的身體是陌生的,即使我們整天都在使用它。我們是身體的一部分,可能身體也是部分的我們。我想透過
這個作品來表達這個自己與自己身體之間的陌生感。

What is this?
This is a project that I started it from my second year of university. Sometimes I would stare at a part of my body, and I found that I felt the skin texture looked deeper and deeper. Finally, I felt strange to it just like that was not a part of me.
Therefore, I started the project to deal with the strangeness between one and one's body. Invertebrate is a kind of creature that I think it to be weird and even disgusty. I assert each cut of my (or other's) body to be a kind of invertebrate. I give they names and stories. Trying to convince you they are exist. On the other hand, trying to give a feeling of strangeness of your body.
