Also, to clarify, though the narrative spoken by the ducks was based on my historical research into the film and the Chinese Revolution of 1911 - it dealt with material that would be difficult to label as "facts." There's so much mystery surrounding “Stealing a Roast Duck” that it's difficult to determine any concrete information with certainty (no one alive has seen the film and all prints were lost around the time of the revolution). Liang Siaopo was in fact a revolutionary - and enjoyed ice cream - but the rest is only conjecture. -Adrian Wong Just wanted to pop in and thank you for your kind words about my installation.
