不在服务区的彩虹  作品简述

《彩虹》（2005）是一幕当代商业城市奇观，童话体的反讽之作。一轮绚丽彩虹跨越城市的上空。这彩虹，全部由夜晚分布城市各处的霓虹灯招牌组成，由人工景观替代了自然景观，构成了一道消费社会独特的风景。

继2005年的《彩虹》之后，2008年创作的《不在服务区的彩虹》虽然同样炫目壮观，但是却横跨在的空寂的茫茫大海、核试验之后的荒漠、人迹罕至的世界屋脊上（云南的梅里雪山和西藏的喜马拉雅山）。象征物欲的霓虹突然被扯脱了其所施欲的对象。

Rainbow （2005）is a wonderful sight on the modern commercial metropolis; it’s a sarcastic work in the shape of a fairy tale. A splendid rainbow traces a path across the city sky.  This rainbow consists of neon commercial signs taken from different places in the city.  This artificial landscape takes form from natural scenery offering a unique view on consumerist society.

Following 2005’s “Rainbow”, 2008’s “Rainbow Out of Service” although is a dazzling spectacle too, however it spread across the wide ocean, the barren desert after nuclear tests, or the inaccessible roofs of world (the Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan and Himalayas in Tibet). The neon which symbolizes material (or “materialism”) has all of a sudden been deprived of its target.
