《原鄉不在地表—野菜移植計畫》以「移植」作為核心方法，探討當人與植物離開原有的地景與關係網絡後，如何在異地重新生成連結、知識與感知。「原鄉」在此不再是一個固定的地理座標，而是一種在斷裂、遷移、轉譯與重建之中持續生成的狀態。

作品以阿美族野菜文化為出發點，將其理解為一套交織生態地景、身體感知、靈觀與療癒實踐的關係性知識。藝術家將野菜移入由人工控制光照與水分的室內環境，結合行為展演、錄像，以及觀眾互動後留下的物件，建構出一個持續運作的臨時生態場域。

這些野菜並非單純的植物材料，而承載著藝術家進入阿美族傳統領域學習、採集、種植與陪伴所形成的關係記憶。當植物脫離原有環境，它們一方面保留著過往地景的痕跡，一方面也必須回應展場中的人工光源、水分控制與展示機制，呈現出持續變動且不穩定的生命狀態。

作品藉此提問：當野菜被移植到室內，它仍能被稱作「野菜」嗎？當與土地緊密相連的知識離開原有的關係網絡，是否仍能以另一種形式存續？

這些問題也映照著人的處境——當我們離開原鄉，進入不同的城市、文化與制度之中，我們與土地、身分及感知的關係，是否也正在被重新定義？

Origin Is Not a Place — Transplanted Ecologies uses transplantation as both a material process and a conceptual method. It explores how humans and plants rebuild relationships, knowledge, and sensory connections after being removed from their original landscapes and networks. Here, “origin” is no longer understood as a fixed geographical location, but as a condition continually formed through rupture, migration, translation, and reconstruction.

The work begins with the Amis system of wild vegetables, approaching it as relational knowledge interwoven with ecological landscapes, embodied perception, spiritual understanding, and healing practices. The artist transplants wild plants into an indoor environment regulated by artificial light and water. Together with performance, video, and objects left through audience participation, they form a temporary and continually changing ecological field.

These plants are not merely artistic materials. They carry memories of relationships formed through the artist’s learning, gathering, planting, and participation within Amis traditional territories. Removed from their original environments, the plants retain traces of previous landscapes while responding to the controlled conditions of the exhibition space. Their unstable states reveal transplantation as an ongoing process of adaptation and redefinition.

The work asks: When a wild vegetable is transplanted indoors, can it still be considered wild? When land-based knowledge is removed from its original network of relationships, can it continue to exist in another form?

These questions also reflect the human condition. When people leave their places of origin and enter different cities, cultures, and institutions, how are their relationships with land, identity, and perception redefined?
