康居易是長期居住於台灣的美國籍藝術家，創作主題大都與自身的生命經驗有關，作品藉由服裝來探討人類面對環境和人際關係的心理需要。以虛擬拳擊場的結構，和許多緊密相連、讓人深感無從穿著的衣物，創造了一個真實人生裡愛恨之間的寫照。觀者可以 從遊戲的互動裡，體驗人與人之間剪不斷，理還亂，既複雜又綿密的關係，而對應到錄像裡真實拳擊的暴力相向，原本看似輕盈 幽默的連結，卻在當下產生了一種難以言喻的沉重與心理的暴力。
Susan Kendzulak is an American artist who has lived in Taiwan for many years. She produces works that are mainly based on personal life experiences. Her pieces use clothing to discuss the psychological needs of people regarding the environment and their relationships with other people. The structure of a virtual boxing ring and close connections makes people wonder how these clothes are to be worn, thus creating a testament to real life love/hate. Visitors can play an interactive game and get first-hand experience to the complex relationships between people and the way they correspond to the real violence of boxing. In this way, what at first appears to be a light and humorous connection becomes an immediate complexity to describe the seriousness and the psychological side of violence.
