Description
These three photos show Zhao Bandi‘s implementation of his proposal art. His work is about exchanging Chinese and German soil, which is measured to be 30 x 30 x 30 cm in dimension. The work of sampling soil from China and Germany was done through May and June of 1996. Actual placement of the German and Chinese soil to their designated location is yet to be finished according to the artist. The first one shows the artist cutting off a cube of Chinese soil in Shunyi, Beijing on May 25th, 1996. The second, a same-sized soil in Holzhausen, Germany on June 6th, 1996. The third photo is a closer view of the cutting process. A bilingual art proposal of exchanging Chinese and German soil was printed in German and hand-written in Chinese. (Yifan Shang ‘25)
