"The SUCKER (2003) is a development of the SUCKER (1996).It is based on an invented SUCKER tribe and their kingdom, using photos,installation, print media, music, etc.to create an slightly exaggerated reality.In other word, the work SUCKER is an invented society response to the real society.
Sucking is a physical motion, a social motion, a national motion and a global motion.
When people of the world are in enormously hostility to cloning people, I have interviewed suckers in secret place. Their appearances are the same as ordinary persons but their tongues have turned into suctions. That familiar suction appeases me surprise of people. The suckers could suck anything. Including ail kinds of life, dead material and information. Because their brains alimentary canals have done great adjustment in this way their needs on material could reach a climax, and they think their physiological conditions are totally prepared for extreme idealist.
A sucker told the reporter: Utilizing the most advanced biotechnology. Gene technology nanotechnology and computer technology, creating a sucker is nothing. We are pioneers coming out from the original human. If
They think: any attempt to cover up the true color (body and spirit) of people is self-blind deification and timid self-consolation. Why not entrust some more effective organs to themselves?
The lyric of national anthem of the kingdom of sucker is: We suck. We suck. We suck everything. "
When they were asked if people could treat them us if the mankind, their king answered: "This question is unimportant. But when our quantity)' is abundant it is abnormal for them not to admit us as the mankind.
This incident starts a new era of the spiritual history of mankind at the same lime. This small change is: the spirit of the mankind has been thrown the cooking boiler of Hi-Tech. Perhaps we will also realize more clearly afterwards:
The mankind is unable to prevent these things to happen: They happened. People?s wishful refusal is exactly futile. The new things force the mankind to have a new attitude. The mankind makes new things and the new things mold people again. The process of created things changing the creator never stops its steps.?
