Poignant, captured beautifully. And happening in China, where pollution is the biggest problem... but where speaking out on such things typically isn't acceptable.
Bypassing the metaphor and putting this work on a real life stage, art can be subversive in ways that dissidents can't imagine.
"Clean the air, let the future breathe again." A powerful statement.
Wait, what? Right, they got me. Blog designboom presents this as if it's art, but it's actually an advertisement, for a desktop air purifier company.
But wait, isn't it still subversive? If it was art when I thought it was art, is it still art? Is it art because they said it was? Art is hard.
