entire exhibition took place over the course of 20 days. The artist enlisted
the help of 10 migrant workers whose livelihood in Beijing is to collect
and resell bricks to erect a structure that used 20,000 old bricks to build
a 4 meter high and 100 square meter room in the gallery space. A few days
after being built, it was destroyed. The bricks then were taken away by
the migrant workers and re-sold. A series of 12 black and white photographs
document the raising and razing of the structure. A 10-minute video documents
the average workday of the migrant workers. |
