This monograph was published in conjunction with Sun Jianchun's exhibition at the Iberia Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing in November 2009. Throughout the entire year of 2006, Sun Jianchun repeated the same task each day by choosing a news image from the internet and reproducing it as a painting. Many of the paintings, featured here with captions, depict seemingly trivial events and happenings which the artist believes "form fragments of images of a changing China". The work has also been shown at Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno in Spain as part of the exhibition '55 Days in Valencia: Chinese Art Meeting' (2008). Biography included.
