Teaching Gallery Label: “Changing the World: Images of Revolution,” Feb-2009, Kate Meyer and Kris Ercums The photograph is part of a detailed portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong 1960s vintage limousine, currently on display at the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution in Beijing. Part of his photographic series entitled Power, Feng uses his lens to extricate the subtle coding of things that occupy public spaces and expose the visual construction of control. For him, a line of flags, a set of carpeted stairs, or even a simple tire become traces of authority.
