Water Drafting @Beijing 徵水 @北京

IMG_6454b

This is a concept installation about Beijing’s water deficiency on a very frigid day outside the fringe of Beijing. The installation found its site next to a polluted small river and the local has a saying that “polluted rivers don’t freeze”. This comments on one of the reasons that Beijing needs to bring water in from elsewhere — the absence of clean rivers.

這是有關北京缺水的一個概念裝置, 在一個大苦寒天在北京郊外一條污染了的小河邊找到了落腳點. 當地的居民說 污染了的河水不會凍, 這選點也提示了北京要靠外來輸水的其中一個原因.
