Tackling life’s philosophical questions
Print Edition
THE works of Chinese artists Jiang Zhi and Shi Qing are being showcased at the White Cube of Hong Kong through March 7.
Jiang and Shi both emerged from the radical, experimental art scene in late-1990s China. Each developed a distinctive context and language for their work. This is White Cube Hong Kong’s first contemporary Asian art undertaking.
Jiang’s works include photographs, videos, installations and paintings that reflect on philosophical questions about what constitutes reality and truth. In his series of photographs entitled “Love Letters,” he explores the visual and temporal themes of photography itself, as well as the mechanism by which the image comes into being. The burning flowers are not only the subjects, but also the light source by which the image is captured.
Shi’s work is created within a framework which enables him to identify a series of interconnected subjects, from architecture and environments, geology, botany, weather patterns to art and its communities. The work often brings together pre-fabricated objects such as wood beams, cardboard boxes, plaster and potted plants.
