Installation (2006) Liu Jianhua Yiwu

An installation work from 2006 by Liu Jianhua Yiwu presented 1000s of near unidentifiable trinkets pouring from a shipping container. This work provided one of the starting points for the 'Cargo Cult' Series, where containers create complex landscapes of unexplored ridges and valleys, their individual contents remaining a mystery.
