About the Artwork
"Bookmarks as Memories of the World, I Am Always One Line Behind" is the title of Chapter II of Alson Zhao’s ongoing project, "The World’s Largest Book", which begins with a series of seven etchings. The works draw an unlikely dialogue between Japanese director Shuji Terayama’s 1977 short film "Reading Machine" and the Kuthodaw Pagoda, a Buddhist architectural complex built in 1868 in Mandalay, Burma. The seven prints unfold as seven chapters of a book, weaving together the tangled conditions behind the meaning and making of the pagoda, the enigma of Terayama’s mind, the materiality of printmaking, and the cyclicality of history.
