When I was an artist in residence at New York MoMA PS1 from 2003 to 2004, I worked on a series of work which was related to measurement. The story behind this One Liter Walking project was that I urinated at the intersection of 96th West Street and Riverside Drive in the Upper West Side. I drank a liter of water and walked towards West End Avenue and 11th Avenue, until I needed to urinate again. When I walked to West 45th Street near the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, my bladder could not take it anymore, and I urinated facing a donut truck.I set up a starting and finishing point by the limits of my body. The metabolism of one liter of water inside my body was measured while the distance my body traveled within a city was tested. The fluid inside my body and the spatial movements I made in the city became resonating metaphors. The distance which was measured when walking through New York City that Sunday could be defined as “the distance of the liter of water flowing through my body.”


2003-2004年當我駐村在紐約PS1的時候,我做了一系列測量的作品。其中〈行路一公升〉這件作品,我在上城西九十六街及河邊快速道路交口處,將膀胱內的液體排出。並在同一地點喝下一公升的水。在West End大道及第十一大道上朝下城的方向步行,一直到我必需再次排尿。在走到西四十五街,靠近無畏號海空博物館時,膀胱達到它忍受的極限,於是我面向一輛甜甜圈的卡車,出清我膀胱內的液體。
以人體的極限為測量的起始與終結點,測量一公升的水在我體內代謝循環以及身體在城市中移動的距離,於是液體在肉體中、人在城市空間中的移動,成為相互涵攝的雙重隱喻。至此,那個週日於紐約市步行的那段距離,可以定義為「一公升的水流經我身體的距離」。
