Statement

b. 1983 Longchang, Sichuan, China. Working in Chengdu.

The independence of individuals not only comes from the behavioral norms but also the habits of minds. When we face the mature of the society, we always want to integrate into and give up our independence. In a seemingly same world, we often feel boring, and hope to project ourselves. Meanwhile, the independence looks ridiculous and dangerous as weightless points.

If the independent mind is worn away, the single individual will become the same. And the collective unconsciousness brings everyone into a real big family. Afterwards, everyone will fall asleep and follow the trend, and even became a cute kewpie doll. If the burr is rent, all of us will walk with the veil, following the time in a fog.

GlogauAIR Project

Her current work was shot in the “load-bearing body” in Papestrasse, Berlin and centers around the imaginary city of “Germania,” which Hitler had once envisioned for Berlin as a grand capital of his empire. He built the giant concrete cylinder to test the load-bearing ability of Berlin’s soil in order to later construct a monumental arch on the site. Ultimately, the soft foundation gave way under the enormous pressure, tilting the cylinder askew. Wang sees the cylynder as representative of Hitler’s ambition, and ultimate failure. With this in mind, she takes the figure of Winne the Pooh, a beloved childhood character which also represents Chinese leader Xi Jinping, making a triangle placed beside Hitler’s load-bearing body, which is continuously knocked down, unable to stand by itself. in fact, the term “winnie the pooh” is illegal in China. If people search for the word “winnie the pooh” on the Internet, it will be blocked, so playing with these figures and metaphors represents a kind of freedom of speech for the artist to display such a work.
