《Ratio 1:25000》
performance / installation
2002-2006

The artist prepared 3 “step recorders” for the Long March team. These were given to the Long March curators and main personnel to track how many steps each one took. The artist traveled separately from the Long March team, also keeping track of the number of his paces.
Based upon the recorded number of paces, the artist will construct a 3 dimensional installation of the ratio 1:25000, for a future Long March project. The work converts the un-visual quantity to a visual solid, finishing the misreading of one event through history documentations and their materialized interpretation.
