ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

From Reality to Utopia

An Asymmetrical Experience

How do images teach us what to desire, and what falls outside the frame? This online exhibition presents Sections 03 and 04 of Li Shaoran’s curatorial project.

03 / Secondhand Portraits

A pose, an avatar or a borrowed lifestyle can stand in for a person. These works ask how a self-image changes as it circulates online and becomes something others can judge, share or consume.

04 / Snooze in Five

Pressing snooze buys five minutes before the alarm rings again. Digital worlds can offer a similar reprieve. Here the works trace the bodies, labour and material infrastructures that sustain that brief escape.

Curated by Li Shaoran.
