        "description": "The <em>1/2 </em>series was inspired by the market in Beijing where Zhang Huan ate breakfast every morning. \u201cI could see rows and rows of ribs on sale at different stalls. When I saw the ribs, I saw myself. Half of a person is his body and the other half is his soul.\u201d Zhang photographed himself with \u201cmeat\u201d (the ribs of an animal carcass) and with meat and \u201ctext\u201d (thoughts on poetry and culture written on his body by friends). Humans are animals, Zhang reminds us, but language and art set us apart from our fellow creatures.",
