Under the strict control of the artist, who has given each pot the same amount of fertilizer and water during the period of the exhibition, the lifetime of the wheat--from its planting and sprouting, to its growing green and lush and then dry and brown--has been timed to coincide exactly with the period of the exhibit itself.
展覽期間內，經由藝術家嚴密的控制，施與相同的肥料、水份，小麥草由種植、發芽、抽苗、油綠至枯萎，生命周期與展覽時間同等。
