Zhang Yao: We take the simplest game played in childhood, a game of "telephone" played using cans and string, and make an installation out of it. The cans and string play the roles of separation and connection. There can only be one pair attached to each string. People still can communicate, but they must find the right phone to speak into. The installation explores relationships between people, as well as the relationship between people and the environment. The purpose of the work is to help people realize the importance of face-to-face communication.
