作品自述 / Artist text:

《游击小队》希望探问环绕中国的跨境贸易在互惠宗旨之外的战争逻辑。借助被戏剧性地赋予了“使命”的人力划线车和其中装载的各⾊植物性食材和调味品，这件作品在展厅中临时性地留下方向和气味各异的“路径“甚或“规范“。展示这样的矛盾体，也是希望展示在竞争性的国际贸易史上，那些微小的市场参与者可能的角色和处境。

Guerrilla Squad seeks to inquire into the war logic beyond the principles of reciprocity in the cross-border trade surrounding China. Utilizing a number of manual lining-marking vehicles dramatically imbued with the 'mission of sovereignty', along with its cargo of various kind of botanical ingredients and seasonings, this installation leaves behind 'paths' or 'norms' of diverse direction and aroma in the exhibition space. Showcasing such contradictions also aims to reveal the possible roles and situations of those minor market participants in the competitive landscape of international trade history.
