多媒體裝置作品《親愛的____》為策展人方序中與影像工作者蘇益良共同創作。
此作以一個巨大的量體盤踞於空間中央，似一個時間的巨人生長出許多觸角，沿著天花板延伸連結至空間裡的其他作品，以此做為演繹時間具像化的鋪陳。

Multimedia installation, Dear ____, is created by Joe Fang, the curator of this exhibition, and photographer Liang Su. Sitting at the center of the gallery room, the massive installation, like a giant of time, extends its feelers to connect with other works on display in the space and assumes the physical manifestation of time.

作品中以方序中的外公為拍攝主角，由外公的影像來詮釋時間的變化。他是「小花計畫」至今八年以來作品裡的核心人物，指涉了每個人皆有長輩或思念的人，藉此角色讓每個人省思自己存在的由來與價值。此次創作特地回到方序中屏東老家東港共和新村進行拍攝，過程中，外公所有細微的情感變化皆顯露於鏡頭中。透過多媒體裝置的呈現，將影片慢速播放投影於紗幕上，風與紗的遇合，人像落映在一個模糊的介面，隨著時間而忽明忽暗，若隱若現，於隱晦不明之間泛起人們召喚記憶或勾連輪廓，但轉瞬間影像淡去而趨向遺忘的彼岸。作品試圖以此激發人們對自己的警惕與思考。同時，藉著觸角的引導，讓觀者逐一聆聽另五首作品，運用耳機的聆賞以聽覺做為隱形隔間，圍繞著它來聆聽，距離在這裡既緊密且包容，使音樂成為時間的藝術，漫開意象在一種流動且持續地運動中……。

The photographic subject, Fang’s maternal grandfather, whose images serve as interpretations of the ever-changing time, has been the key figure of These Flowers, a project that Fang has worked on for eight years. Upon seeing these images, elders in the audiences’ families or people missed by them are brought to mind; and through this character, everyone is encouraged to reflect upon the origin of one’s existence and value. Fang returned to his hometown, Gong-He New Village, in Donggang, Pingtung to photograph this series. Throughout the creative process, each subtle change of his grandfather’s inner world, along with all his feelings and emotions, is revealed and captured by the camera. In this multimedia installation, the slow-motion video is projected onto a tulle screen. As the tulle screen flutters in the air, the photographic images resting on an indistinct interface fall into an elusive state and are only discernable intermittently. Their ambiguous existence evokes the memories that soon fade away as the images disappear into oblivion. The work serves as a thought-provoking reminder about oneself. At the same time, it guides the audience with its extending feelers to listen to the other five works, which the audience can isolate themselves in an invisible, personal space separated from the surrounding by listening through headphones. Listening to the other works around the installation, physical distance is replaced by an intimate and encompassing experience. Which made music as an art of time, and the overflowing images will remain fluid in their constant motion….
