捕鸟器试图进行“捕捉”,但当自身尺寸被放大十数倍后,捕捉的功能全然丧失。鸟儿在巨大的展厅中自由飞翔,但其身处其中的不过是一个更大的钢筋水泥牢笼。观众穿梭在建筑脚手架搭就的钢铁丛林里,在观看的过程中实际上已然被作品本身所“捕获”。 2005年7月于 北京站台中国艺术机构

A bird trap tries to catch birds, but because it's been enlarged 10 times, the trap is useless. The birds fly back and forth in the gallery space, but in fact the gallery space is itself a trap. Visitors wander amongst the scaffolding structures. In fact, it is they who are ultimately ensnared in the work.
