Description
Due to the fact of missing original videos of "Beijing Haw" & "120' " and only the photographic documentation surviving, all descriptions are based on observation of photographs of the work. These are two separate projects. They both lack important information; thus, I place them together. "120' ," and another work, "150 cm," both adopt "string"as their fundamental element. Presumably, they may also share the same theme, which mainly discussed self-torture and violence in relation with audience. Meanwhile, "Beijing Haw", the other series of this document, seems to be a young woman licking a popsicle for 15 minutes. (He indicates it on the back of the photo.) Given the major theme of "immersion" is violence, this piece of work may relate to sex violence. (Zhuocheng Jiang '26)
