A practice to blend folklores into creative spirits. His obsession with object collecting as an artist also an art critics CHEN Shui-tsai wrote: “LEE Ming-tse is always fascinated with collecting old stuffs; any object in profound recollections becomes his target to hunt. In a way, collecting is very important part of his life. He is a man of obsession with old things. Beside festival items, his collection as well includes sculpted board of meridian chart, images of Taoism and even broken iron pots, rusty irons, chair frames, shattered concrete panels, junks that he has searched and found. To the artist, “festival objects”, “old stuffs”, “rotten wood”, “junks” … all are “treasures” after being picked and placed.”' - extracted from organiser's website
