‘The Simple Life’ by Karen Cantuq from Mexico is a wonderful and mockingly playful composition incongruously placing a posing Astronaut in a monochromatic and featureless field with two sheep sitting impassively in this otherworldly figure’s presence.

来自墨西哥的凯伦·坎图克(KarenCantuq)的“简单生活”(TheSimple Life)是一部精彩而有趣的作品，它不协调地把一位摆出姿势的宇航员安置在一个单色、无特色的田野里，两只羊在这位超凡脱俗的人物面前

The complexity of the spaceman’s gear, built to sustain life in the most hostile environment imaginable to humans, set against such timeless rural simplicity, makes for a fascinating juxtaposition of subject and surrounds. The piece invites us to meditate on the artificial landscape we inhabit, not merely in the physical sense but in the social context in which we live our lives, lives we increasingly experience through the medium of smart devices.

太空人的装备的复杂性，是为了在人类所能想象的最恶劣的环境中维持生命，与这种永恒的乡村简单相提并论，这使得主题和周围的事物成为一种迷人的并置。这篇文章邀请我们思考我们居住的人造景观，不仅仅是在物理意义上，而是在我们生活的社会环境中，我们越来越多地通过智能设备来体验生活。

The image appears to metaphorically suggest that we no longer feel comfortable, in fact, feel vulnerability without the protective cocoon of technology, as if occupying some inhospitable world which we can only interface with using an impersonal App.

这幅图像似乎暗示我们不再感到舒适，事实上，没有技术的保护茧，我们就会感到脆弱，就好像占据了一些不适宜居住的世界，而我们只能使用非个人的应用程序进行交互。
