抽象也好,写实也好,我们怎么描绘对象,被描绘的对象又如何回返,显现我们的意识形态,这些已成为中国当代艺术行业对于自我定位的忧虑症之一。这件双屏录像装置里,我说服了常与我合作的摄影师,与我一同扮演了模特和化妆师。

Whether it is abstract or realistic, how we depict the object, how the object is depicted and how it returns to show our ideology, these have become one of the anxiety disorders of Chinese contemporary art industry for self-positioning. In this two-screen video installation, I convinced my cameraman, who I often work with me, and that to play the model and makeup artist.
