《未曾來得及記憶的地方》為一件複合影像與聲音空間裝置作品，內容包含數組空間裝置。以17至19世紀間常見的殖民旅行日記、手札、短文為文本，藝術家試圖推演其中主體的身體經驗，再次還原，並將之演繹在當代日常空間中。藝術家稱，或許有一種存在於現在及未來的過去狀態並未消逝，它僅存於「地方」之中：那是一種近似於想像的、期待的、新奇的、未知的感受，並且只存在當非身處其中的時候。此時，我們唯有透過「文本健身」，從身體（content）到身體（body），作為中介過去與未來、此方與彼方、真實與虛構的一種認識方法。在此時，觀眾得以透過想像縫補來自異國旅者的面貌與其觀看經驗，最終解放既定歷史觀點與事物現有的狀態。
The Place I Haven't Had A Chance to Remember is a spatial installation work composed with sound, images, and sculptures and includes several sets of installation pieces. Based on colonial travel journals that were quite common all throughout the 17th to 19th centuries, and also other notes and short essays, the artist seeks to simulate subjective physical experiences found in these texts and tries to recreate them in contemporary everyday spaces. The artist points out the possibility of a state from the past that has yet disappeared and dwells in the present and the future. It only exists in the midst of "place"; it is a sentiment that is closer to what is imagined, expected, and is quirky and unfamiliar, and it only exists without the presence of the physical body. At times like these, we could only use "textual generation" going from content to body to mediate and form a way to understand the past and present, this place and other place, reality and fiction. At this point in time, members of the audience could use their imagination to patch and make up the features of foreign travelers and their experiences with seeing, with historical perspective and the present state of things ultimately liberated.
