- Summary
- "'A Country Based on Whale' is an ambitious establishment of a brand new 'country' by Sun Xun. Inspired by the annals of Singapore's journey to independence, over 40 artworks - including passports, national flags and citizen guidebooks - were created to sow the seeds for Jing Bang, a country that will exist for only six weeks, and takes its name from the ephemeral emergence of a whale surfacing for air. By further allowing interested applicants to register for citizenship, Jing Bang launches an ontological and critical investigation on the anatomy of a 'country', provoking thoughts about what it takes to create one, and what citizenship means to an individual."--STPI website.
