'With the idea of a "Chinese Whisper" between languages through the method of translation and testing the boundaries of meaning: At what point do the multiplying translations begin to lose any sense in each of the languages? Through this mechanism, two different languages enter into a kind of interaction without human interference, a perfect translation for Utopia.' (artist statement on the series THE POETIC REALITY)

「對原文反复翻譯的過程中,把『中國耳語』的方式將語言的翻譯推倒,來探測意義的邊界:在哪一點上被重複翻譯的語言開始失去其原義?這兩種不同的語言最後變成了一種將人類排除在外的機器對話,一種對烏托邦的完美翻譯。」(藝術家對《詩意的真實》系列的作品自述)
