Oscar Wilde's story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is one of his most popular works.

At the culmination of his art career in China, Xu Bing (who now lives in the West) spent months inventing more than 1200 characters that mimic Chinese characters but have no known meaning. At once familiar and strange, they evoke confusion, wonderment, and even hostility in viewers.

I hope that all prejudices and evil ambitions can be set aside, and an equal playing field can be created for all nations.
