Zombie Sheep Project
如何還原一頭羊?
2012

Mutton hotpot is one among the few Taiwanese mutton dishes, which is usually served in winter time. A traditional mutton hotpot would have Chinese-herb-broth and mutton as ingredients. With different herbal formulas, the price could expand several times, especially for those sold in quite known mutton hotpot restaurants. 

In 2012, I was inspired by the symbolic exchange system theory, and launched to make some simple attempts to overthrow contemporary symbolic exchange system. Within my first project, I’ve collected a quantity of leftovers from those mutton hotpot restaurants, and then cleaned them up, grounded them to small pieces, and finally mixed them up with FRP to reconstruct a whole sheep. During the entire project, I have reconstructed 100 sheep in total and sold them back to the market at 1/100 the market price of live sheep; incidentally, the price setting was based on the average of Taiwan mutton market price at the same year.

    羊肉爐是台灣少數使用羊肉製作的小吃,通常只在冬天販售,一份傳統的羊肉爐由中藥湯與羊肉組成,依據使用材料的不同,不同的羊肉爐價格可能相差數倍,尤其是一些稍有名氣的羊肉爐店家所販售的羊肉爐。
    2012年我對於象徵交換的系統開始感到興趣,並且嚐試透過一些簡單的方法來顛覆現有的象徵交換系統,在我所進行的第一個藝術計畫當中,我從羊肉爐店蒐集了大量顧客吃剩的羊肉爐殘渣,並且將這些以骨頭為主的食物殘渣清洗、絞碎,混合環氧樹脂後重新塑造成一頭羊。在這個計畫中我一共還原了100頭羊,並且參考了2012年台灣羊肉市場的平均價格,將這100頭還原的羊以羊肉市場裡活羊的百分之一價格販售回市場。
