-《浪漫旅程二十七号》

1996年开始创作的《浪漫旅程》系列是《皮肤的叙述》系列的推进和深化。作品继续关注当代社会中的大众消费文化和审美情趣，以广为流行的婚纱摄影和世界公园为切入点，并将具有光鲜、艳丽而又夸张、脆弱的气球等元素引入画面。婚纱摄影大都按照既有的模式在摄影师、化装师的摆弄下搔手弄姿，全然没有了爱人之间自然的真情流露，而只有千篇一律的姿势和概念化的表情，在这里，表面效果成为最重要的因素，而效果中具体的人已无所谓了。世界公园中的景点都是以简就繁模仿的世界名胜，而气球更是廉价橡胶皮充气而已。所以《浪漫旅程》可谓集“假大空”于一体，并以几分群众所喜闻乐见的通俗年画的画面效果在反讽模仿中追寻当代社会“人”的真正价值和尊严。

Romantic Trip No.27

Romantic Trip began in 1996 as progression and extension of the Skin Narrative series. The artwork continues to express his thoughts on consumer culture and aesthetics in modern society. It starts with wedding photographs and the world theme park, incorporating the vivid and flamboyant, yet exaggerated and weak, qualities of balloons and other elements into the images. The wedding photographs, staged by the photographer and makeup artists, are sapped of any natural emotions between the loved ones, leaving only standardized poses and conceptualized expressions. These superficial effects become the most important element of these photographs, while the person realizing this effect becomes negligible. Similarly, the scenic spots in the world theme park are all imitations of famous world landmarks, and balloons are merely cheap, blown up pieces of rubber. Painted in the style of the ubiquitous, kitschy Chinese New Years paintings, Romantic Journey uses these ideas on the “false, large, and vacuous” to scrutinize the value and dignity of people in contemporary society.
