DESCRIPTION:
這幅圖畫表面要探討貓丶蛋糕和小鼠的關係,究竟在強者眼中 (例如資本家、財閥、地產大鱷)誰是誰的點心?至於筆錄王維的朔雪寒,抄寫當時實在搞不清到底是什麼誘因,現在回頭細想,說不定是刻畫現代人的文明病,即後現代主義所講的精神分裂症⋯⋯ 人們不斷需要面對不同文化的挑釁,一時是洋蛋糕、米老鼠,下一瞬卻換作中國古詩,兩者完全風馬牛,喘不過氣者被稱作神經錯亂亦不為奇。
This scene explores the power relationship of stakeholders in a capitalist society. Does the cat set the piece of cake as bait for the mouse? Or is the cat having both for dessert? Amongst tycoons, financiers, property developers, others and us, who will ultimately be at the bottom of the food chain?
