10 is the model of a huge installation conceived by ZHANG Ding since 2008. This miniature evokes viewers' desire to participate: the two stairs and two sliding boards on the first floor are the passageways to get in and out of the installation. Following the stair connecting the first and the second floor, one can reach the viewing stand faced with 8 “monitors” and 4 “loudspeakers”. From the stand, the bottom of the installation can be seen, which is a stadium composed of a circular track and a football court. The entire model is displayed on a white marble base whose design is inspired by natural massifs. "This is an aggregation of theatre, stadium, meeting hall and amusement park." This installation model reminds us of ZHANG Ding’s early works, which emphasize the creation clue of the formation of atmosphere and installation. Simultaneously, the design for audiences participation and added “voice” expressing details, as well as the enthusiasm of "athletic aesthetics" all continue the feature of ZHANG Ding’s last art project.
