「體溫正常」在疫病期間是進入室內的基本資格，全國各場域入口處常見的體溫測量與酒精消毒二合一機器，許多場所亦規定／強制來賓必須進行酒精噴灑與體溫測量的「儀式」。
為期三年的全球流行病已然進入全體免疫與共存的後疫情狀態，消毒、測量體溫的儀式從強制變成個人習慣動作。這些「形式」上的防疫物件成為身體反射動作的一個符碼，藝術家收集瑕疵／閒置的測儀，將測儀作為畫筆，以流動顏料取代酒精，試圖演繹防疫與身體展演之關聯性。
"Normal (body) temperature" is the basic qualification to enter the room during the epidemic. The two-in-one machine for temperature measurement and alcohol disinfection is common at the entrance of various venues across the country. Many places even require guests to perform the "ceremony" of alcohol spraying and temperature measurement. Over a three-year pandemic has entered a post-pandemic state of general immunity and coexistence, the rituals of disinfection and body temperature measurement have changed from mandatory to personal habits.
The object (machine for temperature measurement and alcohol disinfection) has become a code of body reflection. Artist collects defective instruments, using the object as paintbrush, and replaces alcohol with liquid paint, trying to deduce the connection between epidemic prevention and body performance.
