Today is filled with confusion and anxiety. Truth be told, I find it hard to smile today. However, having lunch with two lovely people from the Cambridge Dictionary team did brighten up my day! It was amazing to have such meaningful conversations. Thank you for buying me lunch. Next time, it will have to be Angkriz's turn!

｜Ze and Zir｜
今年受邀參與韓國 Asia Culture Center 的展覽《Solidarity as Spore》，主題為各種形式的愛（Love: in all its forms and inclusivity) 。2019年，台灣成為亞洲第一個同性婚姻合法化的國家，同一年，Ze 與 Zir 在 2019 年正式收錄於牛津英語辭典，將特指單一性別的 He or she 取代成中性的代名詞。作品也類比成華文的「也」，取下「他」或者「她」的性別部首符號，作為這次創作的核心理念。
-
二元社會性別是所有性別問題的根源，當人們選擇成為伴侶、選擇衣著、選擇以一種特定形象生活時，捨棄掉性別的標籤就可以超脫目前所有的問題，我們不需要透過刻板印象來建立自我價值，自己可以隨意建立個人識別象徵而不需要參考模範，滿足任何有限的想像空間。
-
作品呈現三幅動態視覺系列稿，同時在垂直並排的三面螢幕重複播放，它們各自擁有不同的主題。打破性別刻板印象，沒有男孩應該要做什麼，女孩應該要做什麼，呈現更自由的性別氣質與性向。女人不用一定要穿高跟鞋，男人也可以喜歡化妝。
-
最後，一個彩色的玻璃球穿梭在各個畫面中，打破界線劃破三個螢幕的彩色玻璃球，劃破時間與空間。

————————————————
If there were no genders, it should not cause any troubles to say “ze has loved cars since childhood”, “ze dreams to become a ballet dancer”, or “ze loves zir deeply and wants to spend zir life with zir”.
Gender binary is the source of all gender troubles. If people could choose to become partners, how to dress and how to present themselves in life without gender labels, then we no longer need to establish self-value by conforming to gender stereotypes. An individual could build a personal image freely without referring to gender roles and instead according to their unlimited imagination.
Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage in 2019. In the same year, the Oxford English Dictionary update included gender-neutral third-person pronouns Ze and Zir. With a similar spirit, we experiment with removing the radicals of Chinese characters “他(he)”/“她(she)”, reinventing the character “也” as the potential gender-neutral pronoun and using it as the core concept of this creative project.
The work consists of three moving posters, which will be displayed in loop on three aligned, vertical screens, each with a different theme. We incorporate elements of gender stereotypes in these images while seeking to break the traditional gender framework through a visual dynamic, as well as to discover more freedom in gender expression. There is no “should”; women don’t need to wear heels and men can enjoy putting on makeup.
Lastly, a colorful glass ball travels through the images on the screens, metaphorically crossing the boundaries of time and space.

【英語字幕】OK. So when I was in junior high school, I lived in Kanazawa. Every junior high school has at least one native speaker to teach the students real English, and my junior high school was really small but there was one native speaker. I think he was an American teacher. His name was Bob. I think he was from the state of Minnesota. And I really liked that guy. I really liked him. He was a big man like American, and he made me curious about the life in America cuz we didn't have internet back then. So on his last day of his teaching term, I wanted to tell him, I wanted to say thank you to him. Actually I wanted to say more than just thank you. So the night before his last day, I was reading a dictionary, trying to come up with something to say to him. And I still remember it was "I had a good time with you". That was the phrase. And so the next day, very first in the morning, I went to teachers' room, and I found Bob sitting at his desk. And I came up to him and said "Good morning Bob. I had a good time with you. Thank you." But I wasn't sure what I said would make sense. But this big guy Bob, all of a sudden, put a big smile on his face, and said "I had a good time with you too. We're friends now.", and we shook hands. I was really happy. I was really happy to realize... first of all, I was so happy that my English made sense. And that's the time, that's the moment I realized how powerful a language is. How much a single phrase moves a person. So after that moment, English wasn't just a study for me. It was more like... it was more something human.
