2005年秋天，透过中德艺术家交流计划，我初次到了福州。我的福州朋友带我到他们讲述的“德园”，我被那带有欧洲风格的建筑景观所震惊。据说那里是十九世纪外国人居住以及工作的地方；包括商业特许区、行政办公楼、大使馆、学校、教堂、医院、以及花园等社会的结构，显示出城市重要发展。如今，我们只见少数的旧房舍以及残存的过往痕迹。中国城市的变迁带来一种建筑知识与传统的失落，像是一个曾经有著历史经验与记忆的地区，擦去后不留痕迹。关于我们所处社会的历史定位问题，将被特意选择的地图、照片、书籍以及博物馆展览所回应。一幅提名为“德园”的挂轴，我试图以纪录的方法来转化“人类学的现场”到我的作品中。拓印石头上的书法一直是中国的传统，今日引发出一种意识，就是为历史而历史以及它所依托的物质文化。历史是活化记忆的过程，对我而言，她塑造与追溯人类的想法、情绪、以及行为，显然是个自我在世界定位的贡献。(钟瑜平博士译)
