The work is based on the historical event of the Ming Dynasty missionary Michel Boym(1612—1659) walking to Rome. It is based on the study of the historical event of Ming Dynasty missionary Miguel Boym walking to Rome. In this interactive installation centered on light and sound, the brightness of the light bulb and the appearance of sound are controlled by Morse code derived from a dialogue about light in Boym's travel log. There is a negative correlation between the appearance of sound and the disappearance of the image.The artist uses fictional fragments of this historical text as clues, setting them up in the exhibition space for the audience to decipher.
