展览中的作品由唐茂宏编织的一个虚构事件开启：一群人扛走了河床。这个故事的出发点与愚公移山有些类似，人们期待通过不间断的工作而达到某一理想化结局，而事实上，无人知晓这个行为的走向：石头要运向何方？究竟有多少人在做这件事？是否能搬运完？这些疑问将整个事件推向了一个无法被预见的未来。
The art works of the exhibition start from a fictional event made up by Tang Maohong: a group of people carry stones on their back and empty a riverbed. The event is similar to a Chinese fable famous story "Yugong Removing the Mountains". People are excepting to achieve an ideal outcome by uninterrupted working, even though no one really know what is going on: where are they heading to? How many people are going this? And is it possible to empty the riverbed? All these questions put the event to an unforeseen future.

唐茂宏于此次展览中的创作的一系列新作并非是要解答上述问题，而是将自身化身为“扛石头的人”，反复阐述并转译着这一事件。摄影是这一系列的第一章节，大量黑白照片的排列昭示了这一事件的集体性，而人物形象和身份的漂移，以及石头显而易见的虚假性却使这一严肃且略带悲剧性的行为变的荒诞。
Rather than answering these questions, Tang transforms himself into "the man carrying stone" by this exhibition. He elaborates the event repeatedly by the art works in the show. Photography is the first chapter of this series. A large number of black and white photos show the collectivity of the event, but meanwhile, the ambiguous identity of people, as well as the fakeness of stones make the tragic and serious behavior absurd.

当艺术家从摄影过渡到绘画，这种荒诞感更为明显。石头变化为其他物，例如人的腿部、骨头或者无法明确辨识的符号，甚至连人也与符号粘连为一体，唐茂宏将它们画的扁平、单薄，画面如同万花筒中的图像绽放开来。于是，“扛石头的人”这一意向发生了变形，它们脱离“河床”流向远方。对艺术家来说，此次展出的摄影更像河床中石头本身，坚固、直白、看似单调但充满丰富的细节，而绘画则更像河中之水，交错的色斑群以及流动的符号不断冲散艺术家的最初意图。
This absurdity is more pronounced when the artist shifts the medium from photography to painting. Stone turns into other objects, such as legs, human bones, or unidentified symbols. In some works, even the human figures are also painted adhere to the symbol. By painting them flatly, the images bloom as scenes of kaleidoscope, and the images of "men carrying stones" has distorted. For the artist, the photographs in this exhibition are more like stones in the river bed. They are solid, straightforward, seemingly monotonous but full of rich details. While the paintings are the water in the river, staggered color groups and the flow of symbols constantly disperse the original intention of the artist.
