"煤炭做的悍馬" 2009 煤,玻璃鋼,鐵架 200(H)×230(W)×480(L)cm

"Hummer Made of Coal " 2009 Coal, Fiber Glass, Metal Frame 200(H)×230(W)×480(L)cm

 

一輛由煤渣翻製成的原比例大小的悍馬車,黝黑的龐大身軀沉重地掩飾了內在的爆炸力--能源。美國品牌的汽車大多體積龐大,而且非常耗油,為了本國的大量消耗,不斷地在全世界使用民主的名義和戰爭的手段搜尋能歸為己用的石油。 1980年美國AMG承接美國軍方的訂單,悍馬越野軍用車由此誕生。借助在海灣戰爭中的優異表現,民用悍馬面世,也是中國的煤老闆最喜歡擁有的車款,並且是歐美名車中最為耗油的車種。沒想到為了獲取石油的波灣戰爭後,美國輸掉了“悍馬”,竟被名不見經傳的中國四川的滕中重工併購,這或許也是美國拖垮中國經濟的戰略,讓承接的中國公司最後經營不善倒閉,虧光所有的錢,用光所有的汽油。在這裡,世界產煤最多的中國和石油需求最大的美國,多種對立與巧合在這裡呈現出奇異的碰撞,也顯示出大國心態沒有根本性的不同。

Farfur, the Martyr is based on the children’s television program Tomorrow's Pioneers on the Hamas television station, Al-Aqsa TV. Tomorrow’s Pioneer’s is hosted by Farfur, a costumed character resembling Disney’s Mickey Mouse, along with a young female co-host. Together they perform skits and educate children about Islamic extremism and jihadist proselytism, encouraging children to bear arms and fight against Israel. In the last season, Farfur was beaten to death by a character dressed as an Israeli. Mickey Mouse, an image used by American cultural Imperialism to “colonize” children in third world countries, becomes a tool for anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiments. In this way, this character can be seen as existing at extremes. Under this type of complex power structure and conflicting situation, this cultural symbol, aside from adhering to the respective motives of each culture, produces a twist that can be seen as the truest farce of our times. I have created a fountain installation featuring the body of crucified Jesus with Farfur’s head and water gushing forth from a few humorous parts of the body into a star of David shaped basin.
