創作概念：
對於沒有觸摸過的物件(Object)，我們會用想像去證明它的存在。太陽是一件我們沒有觸摸過但相信它存在的東西，我們對太陽的想像是：圓形、光和熱力。這三個特質構成我們對太陽的想像，也構成「太陽」。
《製造太陽千個》(Making Thousands SUNs)是一個製造太陽的計劃，由一個太陽製造成千百個太陽。我們通過圖書館的系統，把印有太陽的圖書從不同的圖書分館運到中央圖書館，每一分館只需要尋找一本封面有太陽相片的書，圖書館管理員手持圖書拍一張照片，然後把圖書和相片寄去中央圖書館即可。我的想像是：不同大小的太陽從四面八方走近中央，最後組成一個巨大的太陽。
當帶住太陽的千本圖書集齊在中央圖書館後，我就會把這堆圖書編排在一個平面上，我在上面蓋上一張白色的牆紙，在每一本書的太陽位置我都開一個和太陽一樣大的圓孔，之後把牆紙分成若干塊份，貼在圖書館四面的玻璃牆上。當太陽的光線穿過玻璃牆上牆紙的小孔打落在地上，地上就會投射出大大小小圓形的光，而且帶有熱力。這是一個個真實的太陽。
這樣我們製造了心中想像的千個太陽，亦同時製造了千個在物理上真實的太陽。

Making Thousands of SUNs
A project for the exhibition “Light From Light” in State Library of Queensland
Pak Sheung Chuen
Concept:
For the object had never been touched, we can only use our imagination to prove its existence. The sun is something that we haven’t touched but believed in its existence, our perception for the sun is round, bright light, and heat. These three characters constitute our imagination of the sun, also the concept of the sun. Making Thousands of SUNs is a project to manufacture sun, to produce thousands of suns from one sun. By using the state library’s lending system, gathering books with sun on the cover from different regional branch libraries to the Queensland State Library. Each branch library will only needs to find one copy of the book with sun (photo image) on its cover, the librarian will hold the book and take a photo, then send the book with photo to the state library. My imagination is: the different sized suns from all directions coming close to the centre, eventually they will form one grand sun. After the thousands of books with sun arrived at the state library, I will lay these books on a plane, cover them with a large sheet of white wallpaper, following each sun’s position on the book cover, I will cut out a hole same size as the sun, then divide the wallpaper into portions, attach them to the glass windows of the library. When the sun is showering through the paper holes on the window, it will project different sized round shaped light onto the floor with heat. Therefore, each of the dots becomes the sun of it’s own. Now, while we have the thousands suns in our heart, we also produced thousands physically realistic suns.
