Li Tianqi: In China, there is construction and demolition everywhere: furniture lies at the doorway of a building set to be destroyed, while a newly developed ur ban public landscape is quickly built and abandoned. These familiar, fragmented scenes allow one to glimpse household items that no longer belong to this land but are rather abandoned to the past. I try to imagine the scene when the furniture was first acquired, and how they accompanied the lives of the owner s of the house. However,with the rise of one and another high building, such life details will continue to be quickly removed. In any case, the reality of

furniture "dying an unnatural death" is there on the ground. These objects have become part of Chinese visual memor y, as well as the most vividly descriptive text of contemporary China.
