Part I: Essays and Comments (Essays)

Wall showed his profound background in art history and discussed a wide range of topics. He commented on the works of fellow artists in Vancouver (such as Roy Arden and Rodney Graham), and deeply explored the unity and fragmentation in Édouard Manet's paintings, the conceptual art of On Kawara, and Dan Graham's space installations. Among them, his most representative theoretical article "Marks of Indifference": Aspects of Photography in, or as, Conceptual Art is also included, which sorts out the key role of photography in the conceptual art movement. [1, 2, 3]

Part II: Interviews (Interviews & Conversations)

It contains his conversations with many important curators and art critics (such as Jean-François Chevrier, Boris Groys, John Roberts, etc.). In these interviews, the focus returned to Wall's own creative practice. He explained in detail how he built those famous giant lightbox photographs, how to integrate film schoring and painting traditions, and his understanding of the identity of "modern life painter".
