Jin-Hua Shi began his project, A Walk of 100 Kilometers, by mounting one ten-meter canvas on the wall, and another on the floor beneath. During the performance, Shi held a pencil as he walked repeatedly back and forth drawing lines upon the wall canvas. Whenever the pencil became too blunt, he would sharpen it with a razor blade before continuing to walk, and if it ever became too short to hold, he would replace it with a new one — constantly repeating the process of walking, drawing and sharpening pencils. At the same time, lead dust produced by the acts of drawing and sharpening would fall onto the floor, and, as the artist walked, a path was slowly trodden onto the canvas below. After each attempt, a record was made of the distance walked, and Shi eventually stopped when he had reached his goal of one hundred kilometers. Between October 2016 and January 2017, the artist completed a total of 98 kilometers at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, with the final 2 kilometers being completed at Art Basel in Hong Kong in March 2017. On view in this exhibition are the two canvases, a time-lapse video of his performance, related documents, and the pencil dust accumulated throughout the process. By taking the simplest of lines and the act of walking as its basic elements, A Walk of 100 Kilometers represents the manifestation of the artist's strong willpower and the long duration of his labor, imbuing both the work and the performance with an infectious power induced by the high level of intent concentration.
