The exhibition features the photographs, paintings, poems and text of Dan Zhou 周丹, a visual artist residing in Shanghai and Melbourne, with Laurence Chellali, a French photographer based in Nanjing and Chen Haiyan, a transdisciplinary writer from Shanghai.
An interesting coincidence in this exhibition is using “food” plants as the narrative subjects. Utilising the without-skill recipes and making an anthropomorphic metaphor for the botanical properties of fruit and vegetables as the carrier, the artists naturally incorporate an everyday reality into their works, bringing out the grace and philosophy of life changes. The artists draw from their life experiences to transcend limitations and embrace growth.
No form of being is insignificant. It aligns well with the life philosophy of subjectivity construction. This exhibition’s curation concept highlights the power of art as a medium for personal exploration, cross-cultural dialogue, and the shared understanding of life’s complexities.
