Monument

I selected various revolutionary slogans and discourses from Chinese history, from the first revolution against the Emperor in 300 BC to the most recent ones. Revolutions and uprisings happened periodically in Chinese history, and each revolution gave birth to some famous sayings, remarking the ideal and desire of that historical time. I chisel the characters on a piece of cement board, printed the stele, then cover it with cement again, and chisel sentence from next revolution again. I repeat the process until it becomes a cement cube looking like a modern Minimalistic sculpture, but with 20 layers. No characters can be seen from its surface, but the trace of ink printing and molding can be found from the side of the sculpture.
Since I use the historical calligraphy style of each aphorism in its time, the 20 layers of prints can also been seen as a reflection of the history of calligraphy, as well as the history of revolutionary ideas.
