Look With This WorkTesting safety by creating danger
Ge Yulu climbs an exterior safety net without protection in order to enter a building for a so-called security check. The action is absurd and sharply humorous. By producing danger in the name of examining safety, the work asks how rules, systems, and rational procedures can become unstable when tested by the body.
