這是一個跨越時間與空間的交流。

HOT DOG TOYZ是一間潮流玩具店。店內有各式各樣的扭蛋與公仔玩具,吸引著年輕族群的目光,讓人挖掘起隱藏於內的純真童心,並在忙碌生活中滿足心靈慰藉。玩具,一直是伴隨成長的好伙伴,也是大家共通的記憶;即便長大,仍舊逃離不了這股魔力。

而檳榔西施,是台灣特有的市井文化現象,林慶芳關注這樣的焦點,並傳達出年輕人在地化的自我認同感;他透過檳榔西施與復古尪仔標結合,表現反樸在地的真實感受。當融合各國潮流之玩具公仔,遇上在地文化之復古尪仔標,兩種不同的時光回味與文化衝擊,創造出幽默而令人莞爾的趣味。

「困乏的心靈;對於這環境,恐懼卻又渴望著潮流的追求。
生活仍舊是在發洩著那小小慾望的不足;
越是不足,越讓人產生些密麻的痛賤感。
但又愛上這些自殘自爽的照映。
請小心的愛護我,因為我非常地脆弱。

This is a position swapping interaction that crosses time and space.
HOT DOG TOYZ is a trend-setting toy store. One will find inside the store all sorts of capsule toys and figurines that attract young people's attention and tend to dig up the child buried inside everyone. Amongst the bustling modern life, a spiritual comfort is also granted with a sense of satisfaction. Toy has always been a good accompaniment for a child, and also carries a mutual memory for everyone. Even after growing up, one still can not escape from its magic.

Betelnut beauty is a specialty that belongs to Taiwan's local scene, and artist, Lin Taifong, has focused on this phenomenon and relates it to the issue of localized self-identification of the younger generation. Through the combination of betelnut beauty and retro game cards, Lin's work shows a return to the reality with a genuine approach. When the local retro game cards are fused with the latest international figurines, the two clashed cultures with a touch of nostalgia create a humorous and fascinating enjoyment to the work presented.

The restricted spirit and soul hold an anxiety towards the surrounding,
but at the same time yearn for the pursuit of the latest movement in trend.
Life goes on trying to release the unsatisfied trivial desire,
and the more dissatisfaction felt, the more intense the shameful pain is.
However, one can not help but to fall in love with this self-destructing thrill.
Please handle me with great care, because I am very fragile.
