珍鳥園計畫源自於我童年時期全台各地曾大量的設置珍鳥園與奇獸園的記憶，隨著日換星移曾經大量設置的鳥籠獸籠幾乎都已拆除，而這些曾經被人們喜愛的動物，他們的消逝卻鮮少被記錄下來，此件作品便以當時最被廣泛飼養的孔雀出發，藉由工作坊形塑一條記憶的路徑，勾勒出關於珍鳥園的想像，藉此探討人與眷養動物之間的關係。

The “Exotic Bird Garden Project” is inspired by Tsai Pou-Ching’s childhood memories of the. numerous exotic bird gardens and strange animal parks throughout Taiwan. With changing times, almost all these enclosures have been dismantled, the disappearance of these formerly beloved animals rarely documented.

This residency project starts off with the most widely kept peacock at the time. Through. workshops,memory paths are formed, outlining and reimagining the exotic bird garden, and exploring the relationship between mankind and captive animals.
