「你的胸部真精緻，真中國。」
You’re so SMALL, so CHINESE

「你的胸部真精緻，真中國。」從朋友曾經對藝術家身體說過的一句話開始。這句話聽起來像是親密、隨意，甚至帶點玩笑的評論，卻成為作品思考身體如何被種族、性別、國族與慾望閱讀的起點。

作品由多個以矽膠翻模製成的藝術家胸部複製品組成，並被放置在地面上，成為細小而可重複的物件。透過複製自己身體中私密的部位，藝術家將自身身體轉化為一種可以被觀看、陳列、想像，甚至被消費的東西。胸部在此既是一個身體碎片，也是一個文化物件，承載着關於女性氣質、亞洲性、細小、精緻與異國化的投射。

作品標題追問：當國族成為附着在身體上的形容詞時，會發生什麼？一個胸部可以是「Chinese」的嗎？一個身體特徵可以被用來代表一種身份、一種文化，或者一種幻想嗎？作品透過幽默、不適與重複，揭示那些隱藏在親密語言之中的種族化與性別化假設，並思考身體如何成為親密與權力交會的表面。

You’re so SMALL, so CHINESE begins with a sentence once spoken by a friend about the artist’s body. What might have sounded like an intimate or casual remark becomes the starting point for a sculptural work that questions how the body is read through race, gender, nationality, and desire.

The work consists of multiple silicone replicas of the artist’s breast, placed on the floor as small, repeatable objects. By reproducing a private body part in this way, the work turns the artist’s own body into something that can be multiplied, handled, displayed, and consumed. The breast becomes both a bodily fragment and a cultural object, carrying projections of femininity, Asianness, smallness, delicacy, and exoticisation.

The title asks what happens when nationality becomes an adjective attached to the body. Can a breast be “Chinese”? Can a physical feature be made to represent an identity, a culture, or a fantasy? Through humour, discomfort, and repetition, the work asks how a private body becomes public evidence for someone else’s fantasy of race, gender, and nationality.
