« Movement Age » by Chen Zhiguang (2008) is made of irise stainless steel.
Ant is negligible in our life, because it is too small and unobvious. Because of it, human always ignore the life of ant or some small size animals, seems like we ignore something in our daily life, something that you think it is not important, but if you discover it, you maybe change a lot, even if your mind, your action and so on. But how to make it obvious? In addition to enlarged it, artist also chose this color to be more obvious, cannot ignore it when the people saw them.
And also, this artwork is irony something. Nowadays, people work for good quality life, but less people can enjoy their life. They think that earn more money mean they have good quality life, they spent a lot of time for working, for earn money, for chase a dream… but less people try to enjoy their real life. Same as ant! Ant always find foods, always hard working, but they don’t have time to enjoy it because they spent a lot of time to work for their family.
From the eyes of this ant, I felt that those ants hate human, because human always kill them, and ignore their life, just because the size of ant is smaller than human. Now, their size is larger than human, so they can express their emotion. Also, their pose seem like to ready to fight with human.
