由三位艺术工作者，一位汉学研究者以及一位平面设计师所组成的“简历搜集“项目小组，计划在六个月的时间范围内制作一本由500位生活在北京的人的匿名简历所组成的书。此项目的价值在于它汇集了来自城市中不同阶层的人的生活缩写。它将成为由北京居民共同绘制的一幅城市肖像。由相似细节或强烈反差的众多个人陈述融合成一个同一的整体图景。

个人事件及个体经验将给予此书繁复、重叠或者截然相反的丰富韵律与节奏。史实性的个人档案、回忆笔录以及宽广全面的社会涵盖面，使得本书具有特定的史料价值。为了方便读者更轻松的对不同的个人简历进行比较，此书将按照年龄、所受教育、工作经验、特殊能力、爱好等分为八个部分，并以表格的形式对真实的个人生活进行客观的描述。但是，信息的特性以及它的表达份量缓慢瓦解着实事的真相，每位读者将会在自己的脑海中演绎出一个个有关他人的“真实”的生活经历。

Our aim is to produce a book within a six months timeframe. The book shall be a compilation of about 500 anonymous curriculum vitae of different people from Beijing with care to pick them in different parts of the city and of the social sphere. Three artists, a sinologist and a graphic designer will work in collaboration on this project. The portrait shown with this book will be drawn by the residents of the city. The general picture will result of the many individual characteristics of the people, a single body which members may be similar or in strong contrast to each other. The individual particularities shown in the book may repeat, connect or contradict each other. The compilation of personal memories and data will draw a historical reality that founds in the amount of the data. 

In order to compare the data easily it has been gathered in a table with eight categories. The personal curriculum information are reduced to age, education, work experience, particular capacities and hobbies, in order to keep a distanced look on a person’s life. Personality and expression might not be recorded in this factual compilation. And the reader is free to imagine who is the person behind the curriculum vitae that is sketched in minimal data.
