〈古董級垃圾研發公司〉系列旨在質疑、轉換物品的身份。藝術家由個人身份出發，用奇想、改造和生活實踐，重新發掘舊地舊物的功能，使歷史煥發新生命。作品為無名的地方和仿如遊魂的廢物找到立足之地，建立一種為人所棄的歷史。同時，藝術家確立自己的身份，將自己這個多年去國海歸的台灣人，重新編進台灣歷史。
The series Antiquity-like Rubbish Research & Development Syndicate is an enterprise about questioning and shifting the identity of objects. Through association with personal identity, the artist rediscovers the functions of old places and objects and gives history a new lease on life through fantasy, reshaping and participation. This work allows nameless places and roving debris to find their place and, in so doing, builds a history of abandonment. Concurrently, the returning artist also finds the artist’s personal identity and weaves himself, a Taiwanese expatriate, into local history.
