March 1995, early spring. I was invited to be one of the artists filmed for the German television station ARD’s documentary about the Chinese avant-garde. Because it had to capture me at work, I suggested that they kill two birds with one stone and record me shooting Wang Pu as he set up his installation, which consisted of Wang reinserting bricks from the Imperial Palace, plastered with American money, back into its ruined outer walls. On the left is the ARD photographer, and Wang Pu is on the right.
