《51摊》（51 Tan）是一个持续性的记录项目。作者作为第十一届上海双年展（2016-17）51人项目的参与者之一，以绘画速写勾勒出她以顾客或路人的视角体察这些散落在当时上海特定位置的摊贩，记录他们的摆设细节、构造逻辑、材质用料、空间策略和街头对话——精妙而富有人情。及至出版，书中的很多摊贩已不得再见。摊贩把自己的生意建立在流动中人和人的短暂信任之上，却成为城市治理下手最轻易、效果最明显的解决对象。
51 Tan (namely 51 Stalls, or 51 Street Vendors) is an ongoing documentation project. The author’s drawings and sketches outline her observation of these stalls, scattered in specific locations in Shanghai at the time, from the perspective of a customer or a passerby, recording the details of their set-up, rationale of the design, the materials used, spatial strategies and even street conversations –both subtle and human. By the time of publication, many of the stallholders in the book had already disappeared. The vendors, who built their businesses on the fleeting trust of people on the move,
have become the easiest and most effective targets for urban governance to tackle.
