加拿大预科作业要求如图：
我选择的艺术品是“素色连衣裙”。这件衣服不仅仅是一种实物产品，它是一种基于语言双关的概念的具体化，“souper”这个词与“to soup”这个短语有关，意思是吃饭。这件衣服的图案是在一幅图画中重复一罐汤一个预先面对事件的场景，形式化为“吃晚饭”，它可以在人类欲望的框架内被形象化和分类为消费品，在同一罐汤的看似无限的框架中，暗示了汤的自我复制的本质。欲望，以及消费主义为渗透和窥视社会各部分而构建自身的方式。
The artwork that I chose is the “souper dress”. The dress is not just a physical product as it is the reification of an idea based on language pun – the word “souper” pertains to the phrase “to soup”, which means having a meal. The pattern of the dress is is repetition of a can of soup in a picture – a scene that pre-faces the event formalized as “having dinner”, which can be visualized and categorized into a consumer product within the frame of human desires, among the seemingly unlimited frames of the same can of soup that hints on the self-replicating nature of desire, and the way consummerism structures itself in order to infiltrate and peer into all parts of the society.
在这种情况下，人类基本生活必需品的界限——饮食和商业世界，把每个人的欲望和需求作为产品的先决条件的市场，正在变得模糊。它反映了一种渗透在青年文化中的唯物主义意识。在流行文化中，作为人类活动的必要的饮食活动正被作为一种产品加以包装。这件冰冻的产品展示了消费主义对社会的影响，以及它是如何被满足的，并通过时尚和20世纪60年代以来兴起的魅力文化等事物来满足人们的欲望。这件衣服是纸做的，它从一种非常流行的罐头汤中获得灵感，这种汤表明了一种流行的感觉。在当时的年轻人中。纸是一种一次性和即时可弃的材料，也反映了产品在青年文化中的一次性品质，因为它很容易改变，只能暂时享受。The boundaries of basic necessities of human in this case – the event of eating and the commercial world, the marketplace that treats every individual's desire and needs as a prerequisite of products is being blurred. It reflects a sense of materialism that pervades youth culture. The necessary event of eating as a human activity is being framed as a product in the popular culture. The frozen product that bespeaks the influence of consumerism on the society and how it is being gratified and feeds on the desires of people through things such as fashion and the culture of glamour that have sparked since the 1960s. The dress is made of paper and it draws inspiration from a very popular can soup that signals a sense of trendiness among the young people at that time. Paper, being such a disposable and instantly disposable material also reflects the disposable quality of products in youth culture, as it is easily changed and can only be relished temporarily.
The design of the dress conveys a senseof whimsical playfulness, catching attention with pop-art patterns and eye-catching colors and shapes that are reminiscent the style that are seen in popular advertisements. These trends are often embraced by youngsters and those people who identify themselves with this idea of youthfulness, even though the novelty appeal of the dress will eventually fades away, and fades away pretty quickly, as the shortcomings of the dress will be exposed as the paper is not actually practical for people to wear and the colors that makes the whole thing beautiful will fade away. Also, the material can be easily destroyed and burnt and sooner or later, get no longer usable, and will be thrown away by the owners.
On the other hand, even though it is short-lived, paper dress had caused considerable impact on the development of modern fashion. In fact, paper clothing once appeared for a brief time in the late 60s but eventually disappeared and eventually vanished from the market. Of course, paper clothing today can still be used in making disposable garments for specialized purposes, such as in hospitals. The design of the dress createsa vibrant, youthful, fairly enthusiastic and bubblegum image that coincides with the youth culture which always seeks novelty and brightens the day with enthusiasm.
