本次展覽首先來自⼀個模糊的視覺印象－絕對空間的行政－⼀個總是坐在展場⾓落的靜默身影。他的工作是⼀連串的詮釋、同理與理解。他始終都在，卻難以被覺察。他是展場的照料者，⽽我則想要描繪出這樣⼀名角色。我的好奇是他與展場的身體關係或心理距離，我的好奇是他為何而來又是否想過離開？總之，⼀切與這份工作相關聯的事物與情感。
同時，在本次展覽期間，我也將邀請劇場⼯作者曾靖雯，會同那些曾經在不同時期任職絕對空間的行政人員，回到此地進行⼀次身體工作坊。我的基本想像是：新人的到來是舊人的離去，新舊的交替形成角色的⽣命，這些參與者將在⼯作坊中，透過記憶的共享，展開⼀場屬於這名角色的自我對話。最終，在展期的最後⼀日，我們將在展場舉辦⼀場工作坊影像紀錄的放映會。

This exhibition first began with a vague visual impression of the administrative assistant at Absolute Space. She always sits quietly at the corner of the gallery. Her job requires compassion, understanding, and consecutive interpretations. Although she is always around, her presence is often unrecognized. She is the caretaker of the gallery. As I tried to illustrate her role as the caretaker, I became curious about her physical and mental bond with the gallery. I wondered what brought her here. Has she ever thought about leaving? – In short, I was interested in everything connected to the job.
For this exhibition, I also invited Jing-Wen Tseng, a theater staff, who will bring along the administrative assistants who once worked in Absolute Space to join a body workshop. I pictured the coming and going of different people. Through common memories, those involved shall engage in a dialogue concerning the job. On the last day of the exhibition, we will host a documentary screening and sharing at the gallery.
