We visit Beijing Photographic Equipment City in the far west of the Haidian District with Beatriz. Downstairs are numerous stores for new and used cameras. Medium and large format cameras are a bargain while 35 mm which is what I need are less so. Upstairs is amazing! Hairdressers and wedding parlors where you can borrow wigs and costumes, and have your hair and make-up done to have your photograph taken against any thinkable backdrop. 3-D pictures are also available. Large groups of young girls gather around models who receive the latest beauty treatments. I am tempted to challenge Cindy Sherman with a photo shoot here.
We walk through the garden of the Temple of Heaven where we exit the East Gate to meet Rigmor at the Pearl Market and Toy Market before and after having lunch. Here are lots of cheap temptations.
At night we go to a performance at Platform China by artist Zhang Hui and his group. He is sitting inside a round table on a chair with casters. Around the table are various dishes of food cooking and he eats constantly as he turns slowly around. Elsewhere on the floor 2 people are dragging a huge white frog around in a leash, while others are alternately sleeping, walking, climbing up the wall etc. It is hard to grasp the core of these rituals or even a grain of meaning... Meet Rain and Nathalie and Bajou, and see QingQing -the art scene is quite small.
