Text overlaid the image reads:
THERE ARE NO OUTDOOR SPORTS AS GRACEFUL AS THROWING STONES AT A DICTATORSHIP IN THE WORLD
This photo is part of ‘Study in Perspective’ where Ai Weiwei openly attacks the regime in place by de-sacralizing one of the country’s most iconic and controversial sites: Tiananmen square.
What is clearly considered an ‘act of rebellion’, becomes an opportunity to denounce the total control of the Party over Chinese citizens.
