The artist will choose several interesting sites and spend one hour respectively peeping the sites through the telescope. Meanwhile, he will describe everything he sees in detail.
Currently we are living in a world with rapid changes and developments. The city is growing fast and information is exploding. Such spectacles are extremely outstanding in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. As an individual, we need to "learn to appreciate the view". With a peaceful mood, we can wait to catch the moment to totally immerse ourselves in the surroundings. It is a project of individual performance intruding upon the public space. |
