《立體幻影箱：忙、盲、茫～～城市之鼠》，空間裝置，直徑90cm，2010。

Zoetrope其實是現代電影及動畫的濫觴，因為能使用的畫面格數非常有限，很少有人嘗試作創作的媒材；本作品將傳統的Zoetrope以裝置藝術的形式重現，結合攝影機及電腦即時呈現一個無限循環的動畫，嘗試以16個動作去述說一個意念。固定著16隻不同動作的立體老鼠偶的轉輪以每分鐘45轉的速度旋轉，模糊的動態殘影透過12格每秒播放速度的攝影機，清晰地看到原本靜態的無頭老鼠活起來不斷的開門，試圖表達人生是由不斷開啓不同的門串聯而成，無頭的老鼠暗示這個動作其實是非自主性的行為。

Zoetrope with 3D character sculptures, Installation, 90cm, 2010.

Zoetrope is actually one of the earliest forms of modern films and animations. Because the number of images it can use is fairly limited, few take it as a medium for artistic creation. The work take the idea of traditional Zoetrope and turn it into a installation art, combining video camera and computer to display an animation that circulates endlessly, expressing a thought with 16 motions. The wheel upon which contains 16 mice with different motion gestures revolves in a speed of 45 times per minute. The vague afterimages are seen through the video camera which captures the video in 12 frames per second, which enables the viewers to see the static headless mice come to live and keep opening the door, intending that life is made up of the actions of opening different kinds of doors, and the headless mice suggest that this action is not self-directed.
