“算账”是一场社会调查；是统计行为、体力劳动、教育活动、创作活动。参与该项目的学生主要通过查阅消费记录等手段，对自己在高等教育阶段的支出情况做全面细致的统计；在掌握自己的具体消费情况基础上，自主开展艺术创作。

"Accounting" is a social investigation; it is a statistical act, physical work, educational activity, and creative activity. Students participating in the project will make comprehensive and detailed statistics of their expenditures in higher education by checking consumption records and other means; they will carry out their own artistic creations based on their specific consumption.

“算账”的参与者，在享受中国经济发展成就的同时，也面临消费带来的挑战。对他们而言，“算账”的过程也是一场心路历程。

The participants of "Accounting" are enjoying the achievements of China's economic development, but they are also facing the challenges of consumption. For them, the process of "Accounting" is also a journey of the heart.

本次在拟像空间的展览，是“算账”项目的首次局部展出，只呈现了七位参与者通过算账活动创作的七件作品。

This exhibition at the Simulacra Space is the first partial exhibition of the "Accounting" project, presenting only seven works created by seven participants through the accounting activity.

七位参与者共计花费1808848.493元，对于在2021年GDP超110万亿元的体量而言，是一个很小的“大数据”。

The seven participants spent a total of 1808848.493 RMB, which is a small "big data" for a GDP of over 110 trillion RMB in 2021.

古晓欢作品：26万，一套房和37个梦

双屏影像，25分11秒，2021 

“26万是我大学支出的总额，我用一套房和37个梦来理解它。这套房是父母出于投资目的购买的，总价约26万。世纪初以来，收入普通的父母通过艰辛地攒钱买房，在几次房价大涨中积累了财富。而我的教育支出则是家庭开支中最大的部分，可以说这套房换来了我的大学教育。换来了什么呢？关于大学的记忆，只有清晰的梦的编年史。这些梦和房子一起,或许可以部分回答，或是预示一些什么。”

——古晓欢

"260,000 RMB is my total university expenses, I understand it with an apartment and 37 dreams. This apartment was purchased by my parents for investment purposes, and the total price is about 260,000 RMB. Since the early 2000s, ordinary-income parents have built their fortunes through several house price surges by struggling to save money to buy a house. And my education expenses are the largest part of the household expenses. It can be said that this apartment has been exchanged for my college education. In exchange for what? There are only detailed dream chronicles in the memory of the university. These dreams, together with the house, may partly answer, or foreshadow something."

“此次算账项目我仔细计算了大学时期的消费，对我的日常消费习惯做出了深刻的反思，不理智的消费在大学生群体中司空见惯，追求独特、新奇、时髦的产品。在我看来是一种病态的消费习惯！我以胶囊的形体为蓝本，放大数倍，消解它的实用价值，尝试在作品中建立一种指向性，引发我们对消费习惯的反思！”

——廖万彬

"In this accounting project, I carefully calculated the consumption during my college days and made a profound reflection on my daily consumption habits. Irrational consumption is common among the college student group, and the pursuit of unique, novel, and fashionable products. In my opinion, it is a pathological consumption habit! I take the shape of a capsule as a blueprint, enlarge it several times, dissolve its practical value, and try to establish a kind of pointing in the work to trigger our reflection on consumption habits!"

彭麒宇作品：329991.5元

装置，珠宝展示托盘、珠宝价格展示牌，尺寸可变，2021

“我妈妈在珠宝店做销售员，她的收入几乎都投入到了我的教育及生活支出上。展览中用珠宝展示托盘、珠宝价格展示牌呈现我的花费金额，呈现有价又无价，而且并不能出售的商品，是我通过算账认识到的价值。”

——彭麒宇

"My mother works as a salesperson in a jewelry store, and almost all of her income is invested in my education and living expenses. The exhibition presents the amount I spend with jewelry display trays and jewelry price display signs, presenting goods that are priced and priceless and not for sale, a value that I recognize by doing the math."

唐溶作品

首饰，装置，电子元器件，尺寸可变，2021

“自我小学三年级起，父母就在深圳的电子厂工作，电子元器件是他们特别熟悉的材料。我和他们使用电子元器件的目的完全不同，我想替妈妈实现当设计师的梦想。”

——唐溶

"Since I was in the third grade, my parents have been working in an electronics factory in Shenzhen, and electronic components are a material they are particularly familiar with. My purpose of using electronic components is completely different from theirs, and I want to realize my mother's dream of being a designer for her."

田珈玮作品：算账

影像，1小时31分57秒，2021

“几年前一次关于生活费的争吵中，爸突然对我说：我没有义务必须给你这些钱！之后，我开始思考现实，但我始终没能正面面对和我爸之间的问题。借这次算账的机会，我主动地推进了我们的关系，无论推到哪儿了，至少稍微推动了一点。”

——田珈玮

"A few years ago, during an argument about living expenses, my father suddenly said to me: I am not obliged to provide you with this money! After that, I started to think about reality, but I never faced the problem between me and my dad head-on. I took the opportunity of this reckoning to take the initiative to push our relationship forward, at least slightly, no matter where it went."

肖游作品：二十三萬伍百零九元伍角三分

现成品，尺寸可变，2021

“家里开的麻将馆，在大学本科毕业时也关张了。麻将万字牌的一万、两万……很像我这几年花出去的钱，都是以“万”为计量单位的。所有的投入都像在打麻将，每打一张牌都在期待着最后的胡牌。”

——肖游

"The mahjong club run by my family also closed down when I graduated from undergraduate school. The mahjong tiles of 10,000, 20,000 ...... are very similar to the money I have spent in the past few years, all measured in "ten thousand ."All the input is like playing mahjong; every tile is looking forward to the final tile."

谢玉环作品：终身成就奖

水晶树脂雕塑，12x12x24cm，2021

“我和妹妹生活在一个普通的单亲家庭，但和大部分父母一样，妈妈也望子成龙。不过，她更希望我们享受大学生活，希望我们快乐。我所学的专业，离她的生活却太远。唯一能让她感到开心和荣耀的就是奖状和证书，即便她也知道这些东西没有什么实际作用。这次展览，我将本科期间获得的奖项整合，做成一件献给妈妈的奖杯。”

——谢玉环

"My sister and I live in an ordinary single-parent family, but like most parents, my mother looks forward to her children. However, she prefers that we enjoy our college life and wants us to be happy. The major I studied was, however, too far from her life. The only things that could make her feel happy and honored were awards and certificates, even though she knew that they served no practical purpose. For this exhibition, I consolidated the awards I received during my undergraduate years and made a trophy dedicated to my mom."
