Excerpt from 'Wang Gongxin & Lin Tianmiao website' (http://wanggongxin.com/):
'The artist digs a hole several meters deep in his house, and in the hole he plays a videotape that he shot in Brooklyn, New York. On the screen there’s nothing but the blue sky. The video work deals with the one-way watching and understanding of the west and the east. The clear sky seems to imply the indifference of those who are being watched towards those who are watching, while a persisting hollow voice seems to indicate the watchers’ complicated psychology: ''What are you looking at? What is there to look at'' This work expresses the west’s watching attitude towards the east.'
