李小鏡｜Daniel Lee

　　上次大伙同學一起和鄭老師討論論文方向時，期間老師提及李小鏡這位藝術創作者，也因為工作關係常接觸到一些畫家，所以在編輯過程中稍稍有對他們有些了解，這個十二生肖創作題材源自於福興穀倉拍攝，作品融合舊穀倉下，作品拍攝出來更有一股不同情懷。

　　以中國文化為出發點，李小鏡將自身的觀察融入作品，表現出當代現象的定與不定中雙重現象的揉合，透過中國十二生肖的寓意，呈現出對當代現象的觀察及個性。東方人以動物來為每一年定名，而這些動物也代表了此年出生的人的個性。李小鏡透過中國十二生肖的寓意，以半人半獸的形象呈現人類與物種之間的平等性，並從演化過程的回歸，重新思考人類在科技不斷更新，可不斷複製的時代裡的自身定位與價值肯定。

　　Taking Chinese culture as a starting point, Daniel Lee incorporates his personal observations in his works, and conveys the fusion of fixed and indefinite contemporary phenomena. Lee uses the implied messages of Chinese zodiac animals to express his observations of contemporary phenomena and the personalities of the animals. Asians use animals to signify each year in a cycle, and people who are born in a certain year are thought to assume the personality of that animal. Lee employs half-human, half-beast images to express the equality between humans and animals, and rethinks from the point of view of evolutionary processes our self-positioning and values in this age of constant technological progress and unbounded replication.
