A. 習慣的目錄 A Catalog of Habits

在「儀式感」這主題之下，我想搜集與分享大家的生活經驗。每個人隨著年紀增長、生命累積，生活中對事物有許多不同的觀點與習慣。探究人類歷史則會發現許多個人或群體的儀式存在，這個「習慣轉換的過程」，不約而同地指向安定、幸福這類方向。
 
「習慣的目錄」將一片片的試片以門的型態呈現。內層眾多的彩繪片，來自台中市「何厝國小」與「土牛國小」師生繪畫共創，邀請最具想像力的年齡層市民，以圖像的方式來與我們分享各式各樣、多元的儀式感與生活習慣內容。外層與循環永續品牌ECOJOY合作，一片片回收塑料顏色混合豐富的樣貌，來自各種曾陪伴你我生活中習慣的物件，家電外殼、瓶罐、扭蛋殼等，曾是熟悉的事物經歷時間後，轉變成為新的陪伴。
 
行走穿越門的互動過程，同時閱讀習知身處台中人們的生活習慣與儀式。
 
I wanted to collect and share everyone’s daily life for this installation. As we grow older and accumulate experiences, we gain different perspectives and habits toward many things. If we look back in human history, we can find a lot of individual or community rituals, and the transition from habit to ritual often leads to stability and happiness.
“A Catalog of Habits” presents pieces of specimens in the shape of a doorway. The numerous colorful pieces in the interior were created by the teachers and students from Hecuo Elementary School and TuNiou Elementary School in Taichung. I invited the young residents with the most imagination to share their rituals and daily life habits by paiting those specimens. The exterior is created by the sustainable brand ECOJOY. The pieces of recycled materials are from items found in our daily lives: home appliance casings, bottles and cans, and capsule toy shells. These things that we are very familiar with are now remade as an art installation.
As visitors walk through the door, they interact with and learn about the locals’ daily life habits and rituals.
