Jing Jin City is an installation series (Grass House, Glass House, Wall House, Curtain House, Tile House) and exploration of a newly built luxury resort town near Beijing that has remained largely unoccupied since construction began in 2002.

The city's four thousand mansions exist in various stages of completion, set around an 800-rooms Hyatt Regency Resort Spa, horse racing track, and 18-hole golf course. The place is maintained by a small army of caretakers who also make up most of the permanent population.  Despite the lack of visitors and home-owners, these caretakers keep careful watch over the Arcadian landscape. Guards man the gates into the gated communities where nobody lives; gardeners cut the overgrown grass of the pavement in the empty unsold suburbs. Lacking tasks to complete, they spend their time wandering around, occupying the homes they are meant to guard, building constructions in living rooms, and adapting the city to their needs.

Behind the Hyatt, the gardeners break through the ice to go fishing on the frozen river that usually separates the golf course from the best villas.
