September, 2012 found me in the newly urbanized countryside outside of HangZhou, China, participating in an artist's residency organised by the Italian curator, Luca Zordan and hosted by SUN HOO at their business park still under construction.  While there, I watched the ebb and flow of the migrant construction workers responsible for building the glittering new China.  With much pointing and smiling and sputtering Mandarin I began taking photos of the workers hands forming characters in American Sign Language.  The 11 photos spelled out HE XIE SHE HUI, which is PINYIN for Harmonious Society.  (PINYIN is the phonetic spelling of Chinese characters with the Latin alphabet).   I displayed them propaganda style in window of a recently completed building. "Harmonious Society" is one of the government slogans issued to promote maintenance of stability in a society that is increasingly becoming unglued.
