導覽員行為作品發生於北藝大105級美術系碩士班畢業展「知音小吃部」，安排四位專業導覽員為觀眾進行導覽服務，以燦爛的笑容與曼妙的肢體帶領觀眾詳盡地認識現場藝術作品，現場導覽時間之外，可透過QRcode連結，觀賞線上導覽影片。

四位穿著正裝的導覽員，手持突兀且日常的生活物件迎接觀眾，包含玩具槍、筷子、瀝網、木瓜，帶領觀眾一起透過不一樣的視角與情境接近藝術作品。行為事件透過正式的衣著、誠懇的笑容、豐富的肢體語言，搭配日常的物件、反差的組合、無聲的導覽服務，以斷裂的情境凸顯行為的荒謬。

貌似鬧劇的無聲導覽服務在介入觀眾的同時，擾動藝術場域的神聖結構；同時，觀眾在想被導覽、想了解藝術品、聽不到導覽、不知所措、納悶混亂的歷程中，重新建立與作品、展覽、藝術場域的關係。

The “Docents” performance took place in the graduation exhibition “Zhiyin Snack Club” of the 105th Grade Master of Fine Arts Department of TNUA. Four professional guides were arranged to guide the audience, leading the audience in detail with their bright smiles and graceful body movements, bring audience to know the details of art works in the exhibition. Out of on-site tour hours, the audience can watch the online tour video through the QRcode link.

Four guides dressed in formal suits greeted the audience with abrupt and everyday objects, including toy guns, chopsticks, fine mesh sieve, and papaya, leading the audience to approach the works of art from different perspectives and situations. Through formal clothing, sincere smiles, rich body language, place with daily objects, contrasting combinations, and silent guided tours, highlight the absurdity of performance with discontinuous situation.

The silent guide service seems like a farce disturbed the sacred structure of the art field while intervening the audience; at the same time, the process of eager to be guided, wanting to understand the artworks, couldn’t hearing the guide, overwhelmed, and confused. In the chaotic process of wondering, the audience re-establishes the relationship with works, exhibitions, and art fields.
