Nach “Leben an der Hauswand” jetzt “Leben in einer Box”: Der chinesische Künstler Xing Xin protestiert gegen die Ein-Kind-Politik in China – und hat sich in Venedig in eine Box eingesperrt. Dort möchte er die nächsten 49 Tage verbringen. “He is protesting China’s one-child policy, and to pass the time in his box, which measures roughly six-and-a-half feet long by three feet high and three feet wide — making it akin to the size of a coffin — he’s counting the characters in the 150 books that constitute China’s nine-year compulsory education program. Adding a voyeuristic aspect to the performance is the fact that there are cameras inside the box, allowing visitors outside to view the ordeal on two waterproof, outdoor televisions.” Via
