醒芷笔记：

脑洞这东西，没有最大，只有更大。

Gary Emrich把透明塑料泡罩包装和矿泉水瓶包装纸一起放在透写台上，给塑料凹槽处倒满水，然后使用大画幅相机拍摄上述组合，以此颠倒人们购买的商品（矿泉水、水瓶及包装）的价值，将垃圾转为欲望和美的对象。他认为矿泉水瓶包装纸印着的蓝天绿树雪山，营销的是大自然的一种纯净形象，但其实却制造了与之相悖的污染性垃圾。

我最初是被他拍摄的照片的酷炫视觉效果吸引，读了作品陈述才知道，他的创作初衷多么耐人寻味。作为商品的水是他二十多年来的艺术实践的主题，在他的不同作品里有不同方面的体现，往往由矿泉水包装纸串联。

我还特别欣赏他结合了摄影与拾得之物的混合媒介作品，仿佛让从生活中被剥离的图像又妙趣横生地回归了生活。
