64,000 Chopsticks of Incredible Jackie Chan Portrait


Hong Kong actor, action choreographer, comedian, director, producer, martial artist, screenwriter, entrepreneur, singer, and stunt performer Jackie Chan turned 60 this April 7.

In honor artist Hong Yi, aka "Red", was given a chance not only to meet but also to create a portrait of Jackie Chan with 64,000 chopsticks.

Hong Yi is an Malaysian artist-architect who spent almost a month collecting 64,000 chopsticks. Pilling them up, grouping them in different sized categories and at last hanging them on a steel frame.

She said, "I spent a month collecting these chopsticks from cafes, stalls and factories in Zhejiang and Beijing, then tying each of them up."

"I used disposable bamboo chopsticks to show that disposable materials can be reused and made into something else more meaningful and beautiful."

The best part is it can be perfectly viewed from front. Be sure to watch the video.
