A Marble Travelogue 石史诗 by Sean Ali Wang 王申
White marble from Greece is shipped to China, sculpted into statues, and then returned to European stores, waiting to be taken home by Chinese tourists. A Marble Travelogue follows the people within this cyclical trade—businessmen, workers, and cultural intermediaries—offering a witty and nuanced perspective on the global capitalist "food chain" of an era driven by China's economic power, exploring in the context of migration and cultural appropriation: how does stone serves as a language, and sculpture acts as a translation.
來自希臘的白色大理石被運往中國,雕刻成雕像後,又作為紀念品運回歐洲的商店,等著被中國遊客帶走。《石史詩》追隨這場循環貿易中的人物——商人、工人與文化中介者,以幽默而細膩的視角,展示以中國經濟作為驅動力的資本主義新時代全球化“食物鏈”上的眾生相,討論在移民大背景下的文化挪用中,石頭如何作為語言,而雕塑如何翻譯彼此。
