Encyclopedia of Tangerine (2023) delves deeper into the exploration of traditional encyclopedias. Shifting the focus towards the study of individual objects, it emphasizes the utilization of low theory to broaden and challenge the boundaries imposed by mainstream knowledge in defining objects.
The project uses a working structure of gathering, documenting and reconfiguring. It involves selecting and collecting images and texts from everyday life and popular culture, particularly those that embody whimsical, counter-intuitive, untrained, absurd, and even silly information.



These realms of content often are deemed disqualified or rendered nonsensical or nonconceptual or insufficiently elaborated (Judith Halberstam, 2011,p11) because they lack seriousness or rigor, create an atmosphere filled with triviality, humor, cluttered, even silliness, diverge from accepted notions of correct knowledge. However, through the act of collecting, these elements are recontextualized within an academic framework, bringing the undisciplined content into focus and presenting an alternative perspective on the object of cognition. As Halberstam states, “knowledge practices that refuse both the form and the content of traditional canons may lead to unbounded forms of speculation, modes of thinking that ally not with rigor and order but with inspiration and unpredictability. ”
