A Walk From Berlin To Vienna

2017, Duration: 29 days
Materials: Performance, various objects, hand-written text on printed paper


On August 8th Wang started walking from Berlin to Vienna with a small tent, compass and bag of basic supplies. Along the way people opened their doors and welcomed his passage. He asked each host to give him something to bring to Vienna; each also wrote a report of his condition when he was received. It is through others that the work is lived; through others he moves and rests.

Board 1, 2016-2017

The board 1 is tied around the pole with the Austrian flag (next to the Korean)
in the Donau Park next to the Korean Cultural Center to indicate the national identity of the place in which Rink's domestic affections are centered, as well as Wang's goal and temporary residence. The flag pole becomes the substitute for the tree in Tokyo and the fence in London.
