This work attempts to see if the existence can be presented by the absence.  When you pick up the phone, you’ll be automatically connected to the answering machine. ‘I’ will be absent for the whole time no matter how hard you try to figure out what kind of person ‘I’ am. But you can still get an outline image of me through the stories told by others or words from my family. Visitors can see whether they can recognize my existence by the glimpse of the externalized [ME] along with their imagination of  [ME].
