Zheng Lianjie wraps bricks from the Great Wall in red ribbon, and surrounds the space in piles of Coca Cola cups. Again a montage image of a performance, the red lines of the ribbon work beautifully with the graphics of the Coca Cola pile in a piece that symbolizes the onslaught of capitalism juxtaposed against the care for China’s heritage. It is hard to imagine any performance artist getting away with exploring the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. unclothed, or how about someone piling Coke cups—or better yet, french fries—around the base of the Statue of Liberty? Sadly, issues of “national security” would just not allow activity like this in the United States anymore.
