Huang reduced his creative ideas to the table's randomness. This was his response to the heated discussion in China about the rise of individuality at that time.
German artist Pablo Wendel's video recording of the performance Terracotta Warriors Xi'an China is on exhibition. In 2006, Wendel was a student at the China Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou. He made a trip to Xi'an, disguised himself as a Terracotta Warrior and jumped into the archaeological pit, lining up within the ranks of the warriors onsite.
Wendel's performance brought vitality to the ancient figures in a humorous way.
