Project Taklamakan. 2016
Electrical cable, transformers, refrigerator, HD video (color, sound, 120min)
Dimension variable
In the video of Project Taklamakan, one can see how the artist carries a refrigerator out into the Taklamakan Desert, his homeland and the site of frequent ethnic conflicts, connects it to power cables, and drinks cold beer. With humor and scale, he sheds a light on the history of the Silk Road transmitting and exchanging goods, people, and cultures, as well as its current isolated state.
