Wang Guangyi's artwork, a car made of steel, is a reproduction of the dream and belief of China's industrial revolution, a quasi-industrial product praising faith and the imperial power. This first car made in China in 1958 is the product of the FAW group after less than a year's work and named after Mao Zedong's 1957 slogan "East wind (Dongfeng) overwhelms the west wind." On May 21st, 1958, Mao Zedong symbolically rode in the car in Zhongnanhai. The artist is re-building a native materialist visual myth, like a remote archeology of the future.
