延續去年創作計畫「遷移－領域－身分」移動概念，從自我生命經驗到思索族群遷移時面臨的時空。「dingding（鍋牛）和石板陷阱」意象說明原住民當代的處境，背負著重擔（文化與生存）的人們，來往在遷移返回部落的路為著生命與族群延續下去。 在文化商品化的交易中，文化意涵不斷地經過大量複製、符號化而逐漸空洞化、單一化。經過製造、生產也脫離其獨特性與「此時此地」的在場性。而我們的生活、物質需求也緊密的依賴著全球資本市場的，是存活的機緣卻也是陷阱。

如何讓文化之心的脈動持續跳動著將是責任與挑戰，透過田野踏查的方式進入傳統舊部落做採集與研究，整個過程以錄像方式記錄，呈現在展覽的空間中表達主體意象與思維，探討自我身份內、外部所發生的問題，思索反省找出未來的可行性，對應部落族人從傳統祖居地遷徙到目前生活的地方，經歷各個殖民政權的治理，該如何進行記憶的回溯與未來的思索？

The work is an extension of the concept of migration in the series of Migration-Territory-Identity last year, drawing inspirations from examples of migration in her own life experiences. The image of “dingding (snail) and stone slab trap” describes the contemporary conditions of indigenous peoples. Carrying heavy burdens (of cultural tradition and seeking survival) on their backs, indigenous peoples nowadays travel back and forth between their villages and cities to ensure continuation of their lives and communities. The various temptations and traps from the outside world are like a knife. If they use the knife to cut off the ropes between them and their “burdens” (cultural roots), is it a kind of relief from the burdens or abandonment of self-identity？

The artist also conducted field trips to traditional indigenous villages and video recorded the whole process of her interviews and research. The video records will be played inside the exhibition space to express the artist’s thoughts and discussions about the subjectivity of indigenous people; issues about self-identity from within and without; memories of indigenous peoples’ migration under colonial rule from where their ancestors lived to where they are currently living; and future possibilities for them.
