"HBOX" or "Hermes Box" is a work by architect Didier; the entire video work is displayed inside a box. At his exhibition, artist Wang Jiawei talked about the piece he created for this venue, "Zero" — a performance art work. In terms of visual structure, it is more like a classic painting. It is performed on a very simple stage; the way Wang chooses and handles social themes lets us think of Brecht's theater. "Zero" tells a story for everyone. At the beginning, the film shows a person jumping from a building. In the process of jumping, seven floors go by, and as the jumper passes each, he sees a scene through the window. These scenes he cannot escape. Wang said that his artistic inspiration and the social reality of his film came from recent serial suicide jumping cases in China. In one case, 12 people jumped, one after another; the oldest was 21, and the youngest 19.
