I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.

Behind every political deal in this country, the first casualties are always the ordinary people, who are barely treated as human.

Any design, any city, any kind of craziness or tragedy, it all comes from a long time of preparation.

Maybe [success] is because I'm in China and I'm more open. Maybe it's my independent behavior, or because I participated in certain projects. I have no idea.

My typical day is I wake up and appreciate that I can still wake up.

I have people working together, doing different things: architecture, art installation, photography, publishing, and curatorial works and design.

China hasn't only existed for one day. Now, the whole nation has become richer and it's become a problem. The problem is universal. The factor is big. Everybody has to rethink the balance of the world and the whole landscape.
