“I will walk on your head in 10 minutes!!”, the masked man screams while recording himself. Reversed and played then recorded again on a second recorder, this play-recording process repeats itself between two recorders until the original sound decays and eventually transforms into harsh noise. Then the masked man leaves one player play repetitively.

The masked man begins to gyrate his body like seaweed in the ocean, undulating forward and backward with his feet firmly in one place on the floor. He then turns back toward the video projection screen where his own balancing image was projected. It is difficult for the audience to know if it is real-time projection or the masked man imitating his own gestures.

The masked man then takes off his plastic gloves and raises his arms like that of a catholic priest in the pulpit. A stage assistant paints Nazi swastikas on both of his hands. He approaches the audience, shakes hands with them and writes swastikas on the audience in the front row. This icon is transfer into a Buddhist swastika (卍). Screaming sounds from the audience rises higher as the masked man makes his way towards the exit by walking on top of the heads of the seated audience.(text translated:Esther Lu)

鬱言師一：錄影長度3分49秒，牯嶺街小劇場 ，2005年

戴著面具的表演者以小叮噹錄音機與裝有循環帶的隨身聽過帶，反複交相錄製著表演一開始時語帶威脅的嘶喊：「十分鐘後，我將從你們頭上走過去」。
兩組機器持續交互過帶，直到音質衰竭，難以辨識，表演者暫停錄音，利用循環帶自動播放錄音段落。面對著投影銀幕，表演者開始以奇怪的姿勢不斷前後傾倒，此時投影機中的影像略有延遲，難辨此為即時之拍攝抑或對預錄影像之現場模仿。表演者中止舞動，脫手套，揚掌做主教祝福之姿，助手以黑色油膏在其雙手畫下納粹標識。表演者走近觀眾席，以握手或撫額之方式，將逆時針萬字印於觀眾身上，形成卍字。表演者走上觀眾席，踩踏著觀眾的頭顱離場，所向披靡。
