“Two machines—one for making gentle waves, the other for creating atmospheric fog—are used to create the high tech exhibit Endless. In contrast, three traditional wooden boats sway eternally in an extensive pool of water. One is a fishing boat used for countless centuries around Qanzhou; the other two are Gulf-region Houri vessels. Are they travelling, or are they at rest? Are they real or imaginary? A mirage?”
