「美將是痙攣的，否則即不是美。」 ──安德烈．布賀東《娜嘉》，1928

《若絲計畫》是向冷漠致敬的系列之作，也是再次提問「藝術是什麼？」這個已不合時宜的古老議題。本系列創作始於2009年，最終章－《冷漠的賽拉薇》，則重回1920年代，杜象曾為了改變身份，男扮女裝化名為若絲．賽拉薇（Rrose Sélavy）的源頭：若絲．賽拉薇代表了杜象回應世代的方式，也帶出了不與世俗同流的象徵，賽拉薇就像是一個出竅的靈魂，以多重身份潛入不再前進的世界，它並不關乎性別，反而是一個為淨化這世界而來的幽靈。《冷漠的賽拉薇》試圖創造一個臨界崩毀邊緣的封閉房間，在房間裡的遊蕩者，將是真正屬於當代的人，他們既不合時代要求，也無法適應時代。一切的不合時宜與陰暗的邊緣地帶，其實就是我們跳開當下迷霧的契機，正如瘋狂所帶來的契機，只有在崩裂毀滅之後，光明才得以真正圍繞，縱使黑暗如影隨行。

Beauty will be CONVULSIVE or will not be at all. –André Breton “Nadja”, 1928

Project Rrose is a series of works that pays homage to indifference. It also revisits the outdated question of “what is art ?”. This series began in 2009. Indifferent Sélavy, the final chapter of Project Rrose, takes its cue from the origin of Rrose Sélavy, the pseudonym of Duchamp dressed as a woman in the 1920s: Rrose Sélavy was the means by which Duchamp responded to his generation, and a symbol of his maverick stance. Like a soul that has separated from the body, Sélavy steals into the world with multiple identities. Indifferent Sélavy creates a secluded room that is on the verge of destruction. The wanderers in the room truly belong to the contemporary age. They are misfits and incapable of adapting to the times. However, dissent and dark marginal zones actually open up the possibility of escape from the present chaos, just like the way madness opens a way out. Only after disintegration and destruction can light penetrate through, even though darkness is never far away.
