There are photographs of Chinese looking like they just came from China, with their hats and so on, digging the trenches, right from the beginning.

I'm doing quite a few things now. In one day, I will go to Kassel, Germany, for a documentary project I've been preparing for half a year.

I'm just bringing them to Kassel to see the art show, and pay their room and board.
