《PICK ME or BUY ME》以大眾消費符號轉化為材質,解構並重組為可穿戴的身體裝置。作品使消費品成為身體的外延,同時也使身體進入商品的視覺語境,形成一個等待被選擇的展示客體。

 

購物袋原本是用來盛裝商品的容器,如今反客為主地包覆身體,模糊商品與消費者、包裝與內容的界線。這種反轉直指當代「包養關係」中的商品化本質,人際關係被轉化為一種消費交易,親密成為可被定價的商品。

 

當「被挑選」成為一種基本存在狀態,我們的身體是否也正在被無聲上架?「PICK ME」的呼喚如同在交友軟體的滑動介面中閃爍的訊息,是一種渴望的招喚,也是一種自我物化的坦然告白。

 

在消費主義的運作邏輯中,自我物化成為一種求存策略,而「價值」則成為被觀看的必要條件。

 

當服裝不再僅是裝飾身體,而是揭露身體如何在視覺經濟中淪為消費品的一部分,身體與表層之間的對比,使觀看行為本身轉化為消費形式;觀者投射的目光與隱含的慾望,不知不覺間被納入作品的批判機制中,成為被檢視的對象。

 

表面看似戲謔的手法,實則反映當代社會中慾望與消費的交織邏輯,以刻意誇大的商品包裝美學,嘲諷「被選擇」所隱含的物化過程。

 

在不斷被觀看、被評分、被包裝的消費循環中,我們究竟是主動選擇的主體,還是被動等待被選的客體?身體的商品化與商品的身體化,成為探討親密關係消費本質的批判性視角。

Transforming popular consumer symbols into materials, deconstructing and reassembling them into wearable body installations. The work turns consumer goods into extensions of the body, while simultaneously bringing the body into the visual context of commodities, forming a display object waiting to be chosen. Shopping bags, originally containers for merchandise, now take center stage by enveloping the body, blurring the boundaries between products and consumers, packaging and content. This inversion points directly to the commodified nature of contemporary "sugar relationships," where interpersonal relationships are transformed into consumer transactions, and intimacy becomes a product with a price tag. When "being selected" becomes a fundamental state of existence, are our bodies also being silently put on the shelf? The call of "PICK ME" echoes like a flashing message on dating app interfaces—an invocation of desire and a candid confession of self-objectification. Within the operational logic of consumerism, self-objectification becomes a survival strategy, while "value" becomes a necessary condition for being seen. When clothing is no longer merely decorating the body, but revealing how the body becomes part of consumer goods in the visual economy, the contrast between body and surface transforms the act of viewing itself into a form of consumption. The viewer's projected gaze and implicit desires are unconsciously incorporated into the work's critical mechanism, becoming the subject of examination. What appears to be a playful approach on the surface actually reflects the intertwined logic of desire and consumption in contemporary society, using deliberately exaggerated product packaging aesthetics to mock the objectification process implied in "being chosen." In the consumption cycle of being constantly viewed, rated, and packaged, are we active subjects making choices, or passive objects waiting to be selected? The commodification of the body and the embodiment of commodities become a critical perspective for examining the consumerist nature of intimate relationships.
