Description
This work attempts to let the social documents of a person to confirm his identity or existence. To speak for the project, GENG Jian Yi claimed: "I choose an ordinary man and set about trying to confirm his existence by securing written descriptions and certificates provided by his parents, relatives, friends, work colleagues and school friends."
