2013—2016
100 collage books, 100 + video, 24 banners ( 2m / 3m )
The cutout patterns are from my father’s book ”Book cover collection in the West“, which was published in 1988, when China's leaders launched their great Reform and Opening-up to embrace the world.
Driven by the idea of “revisiting through returning”, beginning in May 2013, I have been collecting, cutting out and collaging those book cover prints from the "Book cover collection in the West" back on to Western secondhand books that I acquired over the years.
