For this video work, young Chinese artist Zhang Liaoyuan has built three scenes, a restaurant, a supermarket and a library. All of a sudden, a great inrush of water occurs (like the one that happened inside of the luxurious submerged passenger boat Titanic). While the inundation is happening within the 3 scenes, people are behaving in an ordinary manner, seeming to not notice the water. The work is supposed to be a comment on modern society, as if we are like those passengers of the Titanic, but the actors in Zhang’s work remain calm, as if to say our society is trying to pretend that those life-threatening leaks in our world do not exist.

We had a few photos of this piece in our sculpture studio at school. I got to stare at it during class.
i wish he was alive so he can get credit for all the amazing work he has done. his sense of color and arrangement is ridiculous
