2018年泰国双年展，在泰国甲米。杨振中在当地挑了10棵榕树，都完整地连根挖起，然后将它们倒立，树冠种回地里。
几个月后，10棵树有8棵长出新芽成活。
作品坐落在泰国甲米岛孔卡码头（Kong Ka Pier, Krabi）步道边的草坪上。
Thailand Biennale 2018, in Krabi, Thailand. Yang Zhenzhong picked 10 banyan trees in the area, all dug up intact with their roots, and then planted them upside down with their crowns back in the ground.
A few months later, 8 out of 10 trees had sprouted new shoots and were alive.

从网络收集半年以来海量的各种官媒主流新闻、自媒体新闻、公众号文章、八卦传言、谣言和辟谣、小道消息和大路报道，保留他们原有的图文并茂的形态，拼贴在一起制成不重复的墙纸。贴满公寓里所有的房间、过道、门厅的墙面每个角落（不包括现有的门窗、橱柜）。
我们这些被手机和网络控制的人，这半年来经历了什么？现实远远比艺术更强大、更刺激、更复杂、更引人入胜和荒诞。这些现实拼贴成的纹样，既可以作为这套特殊的公寓内部的装饰背景墙，也值得观众花点时间细细阅读和讨论。
The project begins with collecting a large number of mainstream media news, self-media news, articles from public blogs, sensational stories, gossips, rumors and refutations, from the internet over a period of half year. The collected items will then be collaged into a wallpaper with non-repetitive motives, retaining their original graphic forms. The wallpaper covers the wall of all the rooms, aisles, every corner of the foyer in the apartment.
For those of us virtually controlled by the network and mobile phone, what have we experienced in the past six months? Reality is far more powerful, more exciting, more complex, more fascinating and absurd than art. These realistic collages can serve simultaneously as a decorative wall for the interior of this specific apartment and a background wall that is worth the time of the viewers to read and discuss.
