迁徙者的理想和乡愁的博弈
《迁徙》是基于博物馆藏品“大众T1面包车”进行的创作。作品顶部理应是行李架的区域安置了数以千计的灯泡，分成多组忽明忽暗。每一件行李是一个人的缩影，他的性格，经历，未来都浓缩在其中，或整洁或杂乱或公务或流浪；而每个灯泡都象征着每一个人的理想，莹莹闪烁。
汽车承载着外出谋生者往返，离开家乡是因为怀揣理想，回到家乡则是出于乡愁。也正是“理想”和“乡愁”的矛盾心理、家乡的发展和大城市生存越发艰辛的局面抉择，让迁徙者无所适从。经历价值取向和社会伦理的裂变，被危机感不断逼迫着前进，人的精神与物质都面临着严重的考验。
大众T1是上世纪五六十年代非常流行的一种厢式多功能车。由于良好的操控性、分配均匀的车身重量和出色的功能性，再加上价格低廉，坚固耐用，它被广泛地运用于载客、货运、救护、维修等领域。T1的走红得益于二战之后的反战浪潮，物质在重建，年轻人的价值观也在重建，对自我的重新审视带来迷茫、反叛、崇尚艺术、追求独立自由、个性解放，T1是这段历史的见证。
对生活生计的渴望，乃至对生存和平的渴望，从中国放眼到世界的各个角落，殊途同归。
Migrators’ Game Between Ideality and Nostalgia
Migration is an artwork created based on museum’s collection of “Volkswagen T1 Van”. The top of the work should be the area for the luggage rack, where thousands of bulbs are placed instead, and it is divided into many flickering groups. Each luggage is the epitome of a person, whose character, experience and future are concentrated in it, some neat and some messy; each bulb symbolizes people’s ideal that are glittering and shining.
Vehicles carry people to leave hometown for a living. People leave home for their dream and return because of homesickness. It is also the contradiction between “ideality” and “nostalgia”, the development at hometown and the more difficult situation of living in big cities that make migrators at a loss. Having experienced the fission of value orientation and social ethics, they are constantly pushed forward by the sense of crisis. People's spirit and material are facing serious challenges.
Volkswagen T1 is a popular multi-functional vehicle in the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely used in the fields of public transportation, shipping, rescue and maintenance for its good controls, excellent function, low price and durability. The popularity of T1 is benefited from the anti-war wave after World War II. T1 is the testimony of the history for the reconstruction of materials and also the values of the young, the reexamination of the oneself that bringing confusion, rebellion, advocacy of art, pursuit of independence and freedom as well as the liberation of individuality.
The longing for life, and even the survival and peace, are all the same, no matter from China or to every corner in the world; all roads lead to Rome.
