旅游在中产阶级消费中是重要的一环。视频用五张明信片模拟书写了一个旅行的开始到结束过程与心情。在无法忍受日常必须说走就走、到做旅行攻略、学习如何看风景、拍摄看到的景与人时与自身真实经历产生一种错位。通过 蓝精灵动画片的简化与毛姆、卡夫卡文字中的细腻含蓄对比，展示出的旅行惯常景象与真实的旅行意义。
如果说对于当下青年与中产阶级旅行的意义就是在24/7制度下的出逃，那么逃离的最终结果也许就是一个绝对消耗与相对收获的过程——旅途在新奇与冲突中归家，生命又翻过了一页，距离那谁也逃脱不掉的死亡又迈进一步。
Travel is an important part in the consumption of middle classes.
In this two-channel video, a fictitious journey was told by five postcards that seemed to be sent out——A journey began with getting tired of everyday life and left home without hesitation, making plans and booking, learning how to enjoy the best view of landscape and taking pictures for social media, which is partly shifted from real experience. Cliché about travel experience has been replaced by simple Smurf comics to make the comparison with Maugham and Kafka’s reserved sentiments in text. The contrast reveals not only the ideal version of traveling away from home and finding philosophical meaning of life.
The idea of travel, as a paradoxically optimistic solution to current problems under 24/7 mode, is rather an escape—a means to break free from the capitalistic race to the people in midcult. At the same time, under capitalism it is also a nonoptimal process of absolute consumption and relative gains. The infinity newness encounters stresses on the way of one kind or another. That is declared that going back home is ultimately the optimal destination ---after all, it is just when a chapter of life closed. Along with melancholic feelings in a familiar setting, we are just a little nearer to inevitable death.
