The publication is produced on the occasion of solo exhibition of Chinese artist Xu Bing of the same title held in Asia Society Hong Kong Center in Hong Kong from May to August, 2014.

After graduating with his degree in printmaking, Xu Bing veered away to create simple but dramatic woodcuts. In 1987, Xu Bing returned to his training in printmaking to create large and elaborate installation pieces. In this first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Xu Bing's conceptualized art works introduce to the audience the dimensions of time and space created by the artist.
