〈沙漠．駱駝〉是藝術家在故鄉新疆創作的四件作品之一。他把一隻駱駝帶到北京參加展覽，然後以錄像紀錄駱駝在美術館內的情況。駱駝成為觀眾思考、好奇或驚異的對象，牠與其本來的生活脫節，不再是沙漠中的動物，也不再為人類運送貨物。這錄像顯示動物及旁觀的人之間的疏離，兩者無法聯繫。
Desert Camel, one of four works produced in Xinjiang, Zhao’s home origin, involves the artist including a camel in his exhibition in Beijing. He then documented the camel in situ on video. The camel now becomes an object of contemplation, curiosity or wonder, divorced from its daily life, no longer an animal of the desert nor even a carrier of man and his cargo. The video shows the estrangement of both the animal and its human observers who appear at a loss to connect in any way.
