同一个世界同一个梦想 2008-2010
装置， 综合材料
410cm x 710cm
上海证大美术馆
艺术家籍对航空母舰这个历史上具有特殊意义事物的关注和认识，利用其强烈的军事力量和特征以装置的形式来反映21世纪的全球化政治、经济和文化现状。对当今“强权”和“世界”的概念从审美和视觉的角度进行批判和思考，是对现实世界中的文化与政治的隐喻和讽刺。
这艘由“中国自行制造”的航母已被艺术家切成一半，俩只老鹰张开大嘴巴站在航母顶上可以被视为一种隐喻。在现实之中，航空母舰是极具“威慑力”的军事武器。航空母舰巨额的建造与维护费用也是一个国家经济实力的象征。因此，航空母舰自身就演化为了一种强势力量与经济实力的符号。
在国与国的较量之中，强大的军事力量与经济实力对于其能否取得在政治之上的话语权力具有决定性的作用。同样我们可以看到，对于今天世界的文化与艺术来说，由强大的经济与政治实力支撑着的文化与艺术模式同样也会变成一种“强势”。艺术家建造这艘“航空母舰”的意图或许可以理解为一种象征的手法，其目的在于隐射现实中的那些拥有“强大”与“威慑力”支撑的事物对于其他事物之影响。

One World One Dream 2008-2010
Installation， Mixed Media
410mx710m
The artist project their knowledge and understanding of an aircraft carrier, an object of unique historical meaning that represents military power, through this installation, which reflect the political, economic and cultural phenomenon of globalization in the 21st century. This installation does not only ponder upon and criticize the concept of “power” and “the world” from an aesthetic and visual angle, but is also a metaphorical and satirical representation of real world culture and politics.
This “made in China” aircraft carrier has been cut half by the artist and there are two eagles open their mouth standing on top of two parts of mother ship. It can be understood as a metaphor. An aircraft carrier is a military weapon that can be extremely “terrorizing,” and its production and maintenance symbolizes a nation’s financial prowess. Therefore, the aircraft carrier takes on the role of symbolizing power and financial abilities.
In today’s struggle for power, a nation’s strong military power and economic strength play a pivotal role in gaining political domination. Similarly strong economic and political infrastructure can influence the world of culture and art and transform them into forms of “power.” The artists’ motivation to build this “aircraft carrier” can be understood as a symbolic approach in demonstrating the “strong” and “terrorizing” objects’ influence on other objects.
