Exhibition information

This exhibition presents recent works by Hu Jiayi, including her latest piece Camera Obscura, the “Last War” series, and Flat Ground among others.

 

In recent years, people have become accustomed to sudden isolation or losing physical contact with the outside world. The ongoing advancement of modernity, whether in terms of technology, institutional frameworks, or human “embodiment,” has intensified the sense of “absurdity.” This “absurdity” has surrounded Hu Jiayi, which is why the exhibition is titled “Camera Obscura.” Every day, before dawn, Hu Jiayi commutes to work, and the red glow from the taillights of the car in front of her reminds her of being in a film developing “Camera Obscura.”
