“Excerpts from the Taoist Protective Talisman”  2006  5 Channel HD Videos  06m49s 

「道教符籙選」是一部使用五個螢幕的錄像作品，狗在垂直的黃色紙卷上用嘴書寫出如書法般的咒文。道教的符籙被認為是一種具有法力且能趨疾避凶的符咒，作品中的紙卷模擬出一般中國家庭將符咒貼在牆上的形式。在這裡還採用了一些較不常用的、貓狗相關的符籙，例如：“ 防夜聞犬吠聲符”。當看見狗用舌頭舔出這些符籙時，觀者便不禁露出狡猾的會心一笑。

Excerpts from the Taoist Protective Talisman is a five-screen video where the dog writes out calligraphic scriptures on vertical, yellow scrolls. The Taoist Talisman is a series of magic spells that are believed to ward off disaster and evil energy. The video’s scrolls mimic how the texts commonly appear on the walls of many Chinese homes. Some of the less popular ones directly address animal matters, often relating to dogs and cats. One, for example, reads: “Spell to prevent hearing dog barks at night.” When the dog phrases these words in licks and laps, one cannot help but detect a sly, knowing smile.
