Show creates possibility of career options for locals

Near the riverside a tree wrapped in metal sheets catches the attention of almost every passer-by. Most of them ask the same question: What's wrong with the tree?

The tree covered in metal sheets is part of an art installation titled Armour by Finnish artist Antti Laitinen. He is one of the 40 artists from across the world taking part in the contemporary art show being held in the ancient water town of Wuzhen in East China's Zhejiang province.

A mother tells her son that Laitinen's armored tree is sick urging him to stay away from it. A middle-aged man looks at it for a while and tells his friends that the tree has been covered to protect it from cold.
