Home, 120x250cm, Photograph, Wang Qingsong, 2005

In “Home”, I built up demolished walls of an old house. It reminded us of being allured to find treasures from rubbish when we were young. I threw in a lot of garbage, including daily waste, electrical trash, chemicals, and etc. Until now, I am still not sure if the demolished houses can be excavated to find some treasures. Probably bigger profits can be created from demolition itself, which are so popular in China when new high buildings replace the old houses.
