The Result of 1000 Pieces

1994 - Photography (Photography)

Lin Yilin

location: Beijing & New York
year born: 1964
gender: male
nationality: Chinese
home town: Guangzhou, China

All his artworks utilize the use of body – the artist’s own body and that of others. The Result of 1000 Pieces typi?es an image of Lin: Lin is standing in an empty hole of a brick wall. By incorporating the brick wall for his work, Lin develops a speci?c strategy to question and negotiate with the relationship between people and the changing environments. The body appreciates a broader range of usages, and a brick wall is what is left behind.


Lin Yilin is a versatile and internationally significant artist whose work has been marked strongly by his provocative urban interventions—an approach with deep resonance given the increasing attention to the politics of space and insurgent actions in the climate of the Occupy movement. He uses sculpture, installation, performance, photography, and videos to explore how urban development affects the ways in which people relate to community and space.
