On October 3, 1993, New York-based Chinese performance artist Zheng Lianjie (last name Zheng) and Sun Zhaozeng (last name Sun) staged a performance/installation work called “Memory Loss” on the third Fire Tower of the Great Wall SiMaTai site.
lnside a box-shaped wooden frame, Zheng Lianjie’s head and body was completely wrapped in black, exposing only his mouth and bare feet. Sitting next to him in deep meditation was Sun Zhaozeng, draped in a red cloth. Without words, Zheng and Sun communicated peacefully through gestures and glances while listening to the sounds of nature around them. Zheng then smoked Marlboro cigarettes-one after another, drank Coca-Cola, ate an apple while reclining next to Sun. Playing cards continuously fell all around them on the Great Wall throughout the piece. Finally, Zheng used his hand to crush the emptied Coca-Cola can, the changed shape signaling the end of the piece.The work lasted for one hour.
Photographers for this work were Li Wenming, Li Yongsheng, Cui Zun, Liu Qinggang, Wang Zemin, and Chen Changfen with Wang Yamin recording the video.
