The bottles in the photographs were made of newspaper. As the title says I used the exact same supply of newsprint in order to create these paper bottles, which meant the information in each bottle was composed of the same pages of the same-date newspaper, but the final outcomes were quite different. Artist tried to compress the space in the photography, in some ways, he built up closer relationship between bottles and newspaper background. Meanwhile, he tried to compressed the issues of news in the process of spreading through his lens as well.
The Exact Same Supply of Newsprint in Each Bottle (2016)
照片中的瓶子是由新闻报纸制作而成。 就像作品题目所说的，照片当中每一个瓶子都是由内容完全相同的报纸制作而成，意思是，每一个瓶子当中的报纸的信息和信息量是完全相同的，都用了同一天的、相同页数的报纸制作而成，但是最终却制作出的瓶子雕塑却完全不同。作者用长焦镜头压缩整个空间，让整个照片更加平面化。一来是将被分类的瓶子与“只言片语”式的快节奏新闻背景建立更紧密的联系，二来也是尝试透过镜头去压缩新闻在传播过程中的一些问题。
