绿皮书 (Lǜ pí shū)

Series of 13 Prints (with 2 variants), Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, 2012
Green (Paper) Book is dedicated to the strip of land in Beijing, China. Few meters wide, strip surrounds Beijing highway, linking city centre with airport and non - city land. I was captivated by people employed to maintain greenery in this not obviously agricultural location. The location represents the travel towards city, where the dreams supposed to come truth.
Henri Rousseau’s book became an excuse to talk about labour and land related issues in real and metaphoric landscape context. Green (Paper) Book also touches on art production and idea of original, which are often present in my practice.
