Label

Label explores the interval between the body, language, and systems of naming, focusing on how women are continuously observed, categorised, and defined in contemporary society. The labels attached to the skin reference a social phenomenon of label bundling and persistent categorisation, through which external definitions gradually blur self-perception. The phrase “succulent animal” originates from a linguistic misplacement in Chinese of “succulent plants.” The work allows it to remain inscribed on the body rather than correcting this error, revealing the instability and slippage of classification systems across cultural and gendered contexts. The act of tearing off the label is not presented as a resolution, but as an ongoing negotiation, situating women in a suspended space between social inscription and self-recognition.

该作品通过身体、语言与命名系统之间的错位，探讨当代社会中女性在被观看、被定义过程中的间隙状态。作品以贴附于皮肤的标签作为视觉媒介，指向一种将女性进行标签捆绑与持续标签化的社会现象，这些外部命名在不断叠加中混淆个体的自我认知。“多肉动物”源于对“多肉植物”的语言误植，这一未被修正的错误被保留于身体之上，暗示分类系统在跨文化与性别语境中的失效与偏移。撕除标签的动作并非对抗的终点，而是一种持续发生的协商过程，呈现女性在社会命名与自我感知之间不断生成的中介空间。
