《在书展，一位朋友》的创作源自参加大大小小各种书展时的所见所闻。“在书展，一位朋友”里的这位朋友可能是读者；也可能是志愿者；可能是展商；也可能是主办方。尽管书展这个场所形形色色不同身份的人参与其中，发生着各种奇妙缘分，但当阅读开始，便是读者与作品的二人世界，作者与展商充其量只是媒人，为读者与作品牵线搭桥，书展归根结底是人与书的相亲活动。
书展也是舞台，三位主角分别是作品、读者与作者，于是《在书展，一位朋友》的页面完整展开是三种尺寸色块，作品最大，接着是读者，最后是作者，三种尺寸表达了对三者关系的认知与思考。我们曾多次谈过读者对作品之重要：“作品只有被阅读才算真正完成，也就是说读者同样是作品不可分割的部分。”于是《在书展，一位朋友》中添加了钢刀线，读者可以撕开钢刀线从而把页面中三种尺寸色块分割开，而读者这一“分割”行为实际上参与了作品最后一步的制作流程，也与作者一同完成了对读者与作品关系之“不可分割”的表达。
"At the Book Fair, A Friend" was created from what I saw and heard when I participated in various book fairs.When reading begins, it is a two-person world between readers and works. Authors and exhibitors are just matchmakers, connecting readers and works. In the final analysis, the book fair is a blind date between people and books.The page of "At the Book Fair, A Friend" is fully unfolded with three sizes of color blocks, the largest in the work, followed by the reader, and finally the author. The three sizes express the cognition and thinking of the relationship between the three.
