One possibility for the work might be in Splendid China, Shenzhen. Splendid China, spreading over an area of 30 hectares, is the largest miniature park in the world. Eighty-four replicas of typical Chinese ancient buildings, natural landscapes and folk dwellings, which reflect the Chinese history and culture of 5000 years, have been constructed on a scale of 1:15. Among them are the Great Wall of China, the Imperial Palace, the Temple of Confucius, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the like. I think this must be a very peculiar place, especially because of the strange relation to scale, I am also interested in how the documentation of the work through image and video would be affected by this strange theatrical setting and scale. However, in Beijing I think i would like to try the piece in a very different circumstance, and choose a place that contrasts to the theatricality already within the work itself. i.e. quite a raw place, abandoned and dirty perhaps some back streets or a parking lot in the city.
