Preparing for the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast

The photo is a documentation of my installation under the sun. It takes the form of a two-tier kitchen serving cart, with scrolls of Chinese calligraphy as the tablecloth and five dishes on it. The texts attract people to understand them, but the torn-up fragments refuse to be understood. This artwork aims to dissolve the loss of connection with traditional culture and reform the culture into inedible dishes, which means the link is still hard to establish.
