    • 愛的騎兵隊為一部五幕劇，前傳為引子，描述手槍大師沒有子彈依舊闖蕩江湖的軼聞;中間三幕以科技變遷、城市興起為鋪陳，譜寫現代化城市中愛情的光怪陸離;最後一幕則以劇中劇呈現，以馮．蘇佩輕騎兵序曲為藍本，進行在地化改編，描述騎兵隊員於城市情場受挫後返回鄉村的故事。隊員們在新與舊的秩序中漂泊而不得其所，並於偶然機緣下拯救了一對不被成全的年輕戀人。
    • 本作將畫面視為一座「.JPG」劇場，內部運作的邏輯可將圖像(圖層)想像為舞臺中內建(看不見)的機關，透過移動、升降等動態操作綿延敘事;外部顯見的形式(舞臺)，則將日常的視覺元素，如柱狀圖、廣告看板、車窗、螢幕、演講、劇院進行轉換，塑造敘事的多重可能性。

    • This work centers on the theme of love, analyzing various phenomena in modern (urban) life. The former chapter serves as an introduction, depicting the anecdote of a master of pistol who roams the world without bullets. The following three acts explore the strange and wondrous facets of love in the city. The final play within a play adapts the “Light Cavalry Overture,” localizing the opera into a story about cavalrymen returning to their rural hometowns after romantic setbacks.  
    • I adopt familiar visual elements such as bar charts, billboards, car windows, screens, speeches, and theaters as interfaces to create multiple possibilities for storytelling.
