Artwork Description:
The first motif in Exclusive Selection China. One day I was walking from one sightseeing to another in Beijing in China. A Chinese boy walked besides me. He was cutting my profile with a scissor.
We did not stop - we kept walking - rather quickly.
Then the Chinese boy stopped me and he showed me the cut.
I was amazed.
I of course bought the cut.
This motif is inspired by that walk in Beijing.
I still don't understand, that the boy could do my silhouette so precise, so quick - walking fast.
My visit to Beijing was shortly after the events in Tiananmen Square.
Iwas one of the fist people visiting China after these events.
