《求知若渴 Stay Hungry》是一件雙頻道錄像裝置，檢視攝取與耗損之間的連動機制。

在左頻道中，一名男子正進行 ASMR「吃播」（Mukbang），不斷咀嚼色彩鮮豔的果凍；右頻道則是兩名中年男子被放置於裝滿紅色果凍的塑膠充氣泳池內，進行徒勞且無止盡的肉搏摔角。

同時，左側男子腦海中浮現的 18 組成功學詞彙，被轉譯為 3D 的花卉果凍；它們如同干擾訊號，伴隨著文本規律地閃現，並介入右側的黏稠池域之中。

作品透過影像之間的對話，將神聖的成功學語彙與資本，還原為消化道的生理反應與廉價的塑膠產物。在極度親密的聽覺侵入下，咀嚼聲與肉搏的疲態相互共振，揭示了在無止盡的吞嚥背後，那疲憊不堪的生存困境。

Stay Hungry is a two-channel video installation that examines the cycle of ingestion and exhaustion.

In the left channel, a man performs an ASMR mukbang, continuously chewing brightly colored jelly. The right channel shows two middle-aged men in an inflatable plastic pool filled with red jelly, engaged in a pointless, never-ending wrestling match.

Meanwhile, 18 success mantras echoing in the left man's mind are rendered into 3D jelly flowers. Acting like system glitches, they flash rhythmically with the text, bleeding into the sticky pool on the right.

Through the dialogue between the screens, the piece strips away the sacred aura of capitalist success, reducing it to basic bodily digestion and cheap plastic. Driven by the uncomfortably close ASMR audio, the chewing sounds and the physical exhaustion of the wrestlers merge—exposing the pure fatigue of surviving an endless cycle of swallowing.
