Art: The Miniature Long March
During the three months between July 1 and October 1, 2002, tattoo a map showing the route of the art project, "Long March - A Walking Visual Display" on my chest (or back, depending upon technical issues).
2. Keep constant contact with the Long March main contingents. For instance, if they arrive to Ruijin on July 1 and reach Jingganshan on July 8, I will tattoo the route from Ruijin to Jingganshan from the 1st to the 8th in Beijing. A "Small Red Flag" will be tattooed on every site. With this analogy, I will complete the Long March with a "steel needle" on my body on October 1st, also noting the completion of the tattooing process. Document the process.
3. About twenty photographs and video documentations will comprise the exhibition.
4. Keep in contact with the Long March detachment to adjust the actual time of progress and the route to be tattooed. @

~I wonder if anyone in the States has a tattoo map of the Appalachian Trail? The Trail of Tears? Route 66? The Indy 500? Iraq? Afghanistan? Their home (southern) state? Here's a photo of a tattoo map of Brasil. Here's a henna tattoo shaped like the map of a city.
