"RMB 15,000,000" Coal, Fiber Glass, Metal Frame 114(H)×206(W)×470(L)cm 2010
”人民幣15,000,000“ 延續去年以煤炭翻製悍馬的創作脈絡,再次以能源作為物質核心,將一輛原比例超級跑車鑄成黝黑沉重的煤體。原型為Lamborghini Reventón,全球限量二十台,曾是當時最昂貴的汽車之一,象徵速度、權力與資本慾望的極致形象。
作品以煤取代金屬與光澤,使關於性能與未來的想像轉為靜止與耗竭,奢華物件因此退化為能源殘渣。題名中的價格既指涉市場價值,也揭示資本對慾望的量化邏輯。創作源自藝術家在北京五環外的生活經驗——高檔別墅與農民工聚落並置——透過材料置換與空間隱喻,映照繁華與匱乏之間的現實裂縫。

“RMB 15,000,000“ extends the artist’s previous coal-cast Hummer, once again employing fossil fuel as both material and metaphor. A full-scale supercar is recast in dense, blackened coal, transforming an object of speed and luxury into a heavy, inert mass. The original model, the Lamborghini Reventón, limited to twenty units worldwide, epitomized wealth, power, and the spectacle of performance.
By substituting coal for metal and gloss, the work drains the vehicle of futurity and function, reducing extravagance to the residue of energy consumption. The title’s price signals not only market value but the quantification of desire under capital. Emerging from the artist’s experience living between luxury villas and migrant settlements on Beijing’s outskirts, the sculpture reflects the stark fissures between prosperity and precarity through material displacement and spatial metaphor.
