Qin Ga, ‘Site 22: Mao Zedong Temple,’ 2005
In 2002, China’s Long March Project embarked upon a ‘Walking Visual  Display’ along the route of the 1934-1936 historic 6000-mile Long March,  and Beijing-based artist Qin kept tracked the group’s route in a  tattooed map on his back. Three years later, Qin continued the trek  where the original marchers had left off, accompanied by a camera crew  and a tattoo artist, who continually updated the map on Qin’s back.
