The Celestial Burial of An Artist #62
'The Celestial Burial of an Artist', derived from Zhang Huan's performance 'My New York' (2002) where the artist dressed in an iconic raw meat suit, is Zhang Huan's debut performance art NFT partnered with EchoX. Taking place in a virtual game room, 'The Celestial Burial of an Artist' invited the audience to take turns to interact and eliminate Zhang's avatar taken directly from 'My New York', yet this time for the metaverse the meat suit came in a total of 6 colours. 2,500 NFTs would come together for Zhang Huan to create the monumental artwork set to be collected by the State Hermitage Museum.
《一個藝術家的天葬》是張洹創作的史上首個 NFT 行為表演作品，該項目源自藝術家為2002年惠特尼雙年展創作的行為作品《我的紐約》，藝術家沿用作品中包裹著紅色鮮牛肉的經典形象，攜手EchoX在虛擬聖山構建首個3D虛擬化身—牛肉人，並幻化成六種顏色與觀眾在區塊鏈上進行實時互動。最終，張洹將集結2500個已鑄造完成的互動畫面再制巨作。
