'In the landscape of Chinese contemporary art, Wu Shanzhuan is the most difficult one to decode. He defines himself as criminal, intermediary, tourist and labor, so the works he has created are not the granted artworks but rather "Wu's Things". From the large number of "Wu's Things" made in the early 1990s, we see a desire for full opening and "transcending the boundaries" and his obsession with mathematics and logic which brings a strange sense of truth to his works. For us, a species dictated by a variety of faiths and customs, this is an "unadulterated" truth. Wu never tires of quoting from Sarte: "People are a bundle of useless passion". The use for his useless passion is to find "useless truth". For more than 20 years, Wu Shanzhuan has used pseudo-words, thing's right(s), parthenogenesis, secondhand water, tourist information, perfect bracket, and the bird prior to peace, all of which "useless truths", to weave his personal ideology. This ideology constitutes a profound critique to the system of concepts and experiences that we are accustomed to.[...]
Since his encounter with Inga Svala Thorsdottir in 1990, Wu's sophistication has taken a progressive turn. Inga has since become Wu's Muse and most potently critical collaborator. [...] Wu and Inga are not creators of visual spectacles, but rather overthrowers and discovers of truths and propositions, as well as counterfeiters of ideology and interpreters of everyday ideology.' — extracted from p.7
