In sub- sequent decades, others also explored the idea of  building a large dam across the flood-prone Yangzi  River in Hubei province. These included the Japanese  who controlled the territory in 1939, the Americans in 1944, and Mao Zedong in 1949. However, the project was only approved in 1992 and the dam completed in 2012. It was a tremendous feat of engineering, but it irrevocably altered the natural landscape, submerging countless historical and archaeological sites. The dam also forced the migration of millions of people who had lived in towns  and villages on the banks of the river. Ji memorializes this exodus by depicting the residents who were compelled to depart as commingling with demons and spirits, imbuing the image with an uneasy and inauspicious aura.\n","remarks":"ASIA2_14_CLA  Day 1 Cataloguing"}],"datebegin":2010,"sortnumber":"2010  106","published_date":"2026-03-31 02:44:54.255427","objectid":59115,"dimensions":"Painting: 35 × 306 cm (13 3/4 × 120 1/2 in.)\r\nmount: h. 44.5 cm (17 1/2 in.)","on_view":true}
