On the night of May 21, 2006, artist Qiu Zhijie completed this work at the foot of Baota Mountain in Yan’an. In continuation of his series of works in which he records his writing in light through photography, he carefully selected the background and wrote the 2 Chinese characters for “change”. The work records two traces of things past, one a fleeting flash a light, and the other the Baota Mountain onto one plane. Through this relationship of space and time, the work combined historical memory and the present.
