Description

(Note: this work is presumably to be attributed to LI Ning's work "Cancer Ward") In this work, four clothes are fixed onto a wall by pigments, the adherence of dried pigments. Before the wall installs seven wooden chairs, each with a shirt hanging upon the back. The fifth chair (from the left) hangs a red shirt while the other chairs are attached to white ones. On the peculiar fifth chair, several glass bottled are placed, with a plastic pipe inserted into one bottle and extended to the front of the chair. Extending still, before the pipe, a red carpet lays on ground. (Jerry Wu'23).
