This detail was from the outskirts of a giant map of China in an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art at HOTA Gallery, July 2026, Gold Coast, Australia.

      The whole thing was done in that style.

      Up in machuria there was a gaunt little cartoon POW being tortured by a cartoon unit 731 doctor, little cartoon redguard telling little cartoon confucius “that’s a load of useless farts”, two little cartoon mushroom clouds over hiroshima and nagasaki, etc.

          This is the biggest photo i got, sorry for the glare and not snapping the name of the artists/work.

          Just south of the glare is nixon and zhou enlai meeting, above it is the redguard bugging confucius. The top right has the GDP slot machine, the zombie next to it is Empress Dowager Cixi as her grave is looted by a warlord named Sun Dianying.

          The characters from journey to the west are there, tank man, mao’s 4 pests campaign, the AIDS bloodbath and heaps of references i don’t get.
