Antisade, 2007
"I made this work after a residency in Shanghai, where I tried to learn Chinese using children's books. After a few weeks, I had a sudden flash insight about how Chinese man relates as a body to his environment and to the language with which he masters reality. It is a typical work in the antiSade tradition, not anti-art, but an art that arises in parallel with everyday progressive art, yet can never be part of it."
