田晓磊作品自述

　　“song of joy"9"56'

　　Work description：

　　This work is following the last work "Paradise". I have produced an image of an island using the computer software, on which numerous people dressed in suits are enjoying and celebrating themselves. This island is the epitome of the world. The animation is more like a prose, composed of a series of fractions and there is no consistent logical structure in it. Most parts of this work were extracted from my occasional feelings and creative ideas in my daily life. Having sorted and summarized those ideas, I presented the theme visually by means of the computer technology, which enables me to develop my idea more casually.

　　The followings are some of my essay, they are corresponding to each piece of the animation:

　　" On the two towering ejection towers, the noise from the playground has gone and only two lonely people were left there in a fight. Rose is their trophy."

　　" With full of desires in their hands, professional people are dancing on the stage in the colorful lights. On the audiences' floor, there is a row of skulls dancing for them."

　　" Two pink legs are extending from the lottery machine. And one person was accidentally pulling down the lottery machine roller. All of a sudden, all people came split into the scattered foam, surrounded by a grave phalanx of the lottery machines."

　　These pieces forms my animation. I am trying to talk about the relationship between the pretended joy and the real pain, and discuss the truth regarding to the era of consumption and desire as well.

　　We are rapidly consuming ourselves in this universe and how long we can be living happily like this? Is the Paradise Island in this animation a haven of soul or the heaven that people are looking for? Or just a chamber for the riotous party right before the end of the world?

　　Different audiences may have the different answers.
