In 1991, an exhibition called the “Garage Show” was held in an underground garage on Hengshan Road in Shanghai. Zhang Peili presented his video piece Hygiene No.3 at this show. On screen, a pair of hands continuously washes a live chicken in a basin using soap and water. Before the washing begins, the camera shows a plaque on the back wall that reads “Hygiene Advanced Unit.” The person washing the chicken wears a prison- or hospital-style vertically striped shirt, and his actions are mechanical and impassive.
