In Perfect Society, the straight pipes are organized hierarchically in an almost perfect circle, with the larger diameters grouped in the center, while the smaller ones are shifted toward the edges. The bent pipe pieces form a margin around the circle as if to hold the central structure intact.
The title Perfect Society indicates that this work may be read as an allegory of social and political order. While the outward uniformity and beauty of the pipes might suggest a functional or even ‘perfect’ utopia, the traces of disorder on its edges evoke ideas of oppression, dysfunction, or even decay.
在《完美社会》中,所有的直管被以等级秩序安排在一个几乎完美的圆圈之中,大直径的在中心, 小直径的在边缘。弯管在最边缘环绕圆圈,像是要保护 其结构完整。
《完美社会》的标题表明,这件作品可被解读为对社会和政治秩序的寓言。 尽管管道的向外均匀性和美观性可能暗示着功能性的甚至是“完美的”乌托邦,但其边缘的混乱痕迹却让人联想到压迫、功能障碍甚至腐烂等想法。
