Description
No.0021519 and No.0023283 are two installations of art exhibited in Yan Lei's solo exhibition, "Invasion," in 1995. The work is titled with the number of medical records. This series of works comprises multi-media, including videos, photos, and material objects. Unfortunately, the original video is missing; only photos survived. In "No.0021519", the artist is clubbed by the man in the green polo shirt on the right of the picture which caused a bruise on his back. In "No.0023283", the artist is also shown as a victim of violence. One and a half of his teeth are broken, and his T-shirt is soaked with blood. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
