He walks into a large hallway in School of Architecture and Design at Southwest Jiaotong University. He starts by picking up a pot of black paint, rubs the paint under his top and around his neck. This action is not seen by the viewers and is a political action. This political action is related only to the location and to the country that he is in. He uses black hockey tape (same as on the wood) to tape his right wrist on the top of this right upper arm. On the floor there are 3 pieces of wood 50mm x 50mm and their lengths are 1000mm, 1500mm and 2000mm, each one covered by black hockey tape.
He puts his left hand in his pocket and pulls out some small pieces of chalk from a chalk block in his pocket and places them on one end of the piece of wood he is going to work with. Starting with the 1000mm long piece of wood he picks it up and swings it around his head for as long as possible until the wood falls out of his hand. Then he walks up to the 1500mm piece of wood swings it around his head for as long as possible until the wood falls out of his hand and then the same actions with the 2000mm piece of wood. He repeats these actions for the 3 hours duration of the performance.
