At four places I will built a surface with hair fixed inbetween transparent tape. In a narrow row at a window, in a telephone box, between two staircases and at a shop window, I will stretch the tapes so they become an architectural element. The whole iniform mass of Chinese people becomes from a small distance a unique and individual group of people. The same happens with the
minimalistic hair formation, which works close up, as a unique graphic element, resembling Chinese writing.
