Names of the Student Earthquake Victims Found by the Citizens' Investigation
2008-11
Ai created the Citizens' Investigation project with the goal of compiling a list of all the children who died in collapsed schoolhouses. The list, which records the name, year, class, and sex of each victim, has grown to include over 5,000 individuals. It is posted on the wall of Ai's studio, and the investigation continues. For this exhibition, the names are printed in ink on white paper and displayed on the gallery walls. |
