Description
JIANG Jie installed inside two glass boxes (30 x 30 cm) of bouquets of roses or feminine scarves. She then taped the exterior sides of one of the boxes in forms of “米”, creating 45 degree angles. She leaves the other box untouched. The artist applies external forces -- likely by gun an bullets -- to penetrate through the two boxes which are paralleled on the same level. The "naked" glass box shatters instead of the one fortified by tape. (Jiang, Proposal for the "air-raid", available on ZHOU Document) (Jerry Wu'23).
