Old People’s Home 老人院
2007
These thirteen life-like sculptures resemble familiar politicians, admirals, generals, bishops, and dictators. Portrayed as frail seniors, they sit dozing off and drooling in electric wheelchairs. They roll on a slow collision course, crashing into each other like bumper cars. The artists seem to offer a grotesque parody of the world order, determined by only a small group of increasingly senseless leaders, and our continuous cycle of conflict.
