dongmen (2)

the first fat bird collaboration took place in the summer of 2003, when yang qian, wen rongbing, liu hongming, zhang yuelong and i occuppied famous shenzhen landmarks. at the time, we were experiementing with using the landscape as stage. more often then not, we performed short pieces and then were either sent away (by local security) or ran away (because the police had been notified). think of these pieces as fat bird's first engagement with shenzhen.

located at the shenzhen-hong kong border, dongmen is the largest commercial center in shenzhen. indeed, it has its own neighborhood government and websiste.
