Documentation of a 2400 kilometer journey by the artist through every street in Beijing. Captured at precisely-timed, five-minute intervals from a single channel video over 150 hours long, the 1760 video stills, laid-out two per page over 880 pages, present a different Beijing with an endless stream of traffic-congested streets, myriad junk spaces and lots of bad weather. The work took 16 days to complete beginning on October 18, 2003.
