LIU Xinyi
The Centre of the World
Through his works, Liu Xinyi displays his deep interest in international culture clashes and solutions for them. His <The Centre of the World>(2011) submitted to the exhibition starts from a question on why many countries of both East and West publish world maps placing their countries at the center, and moves on to pose a question of ‘where is the center of the world?’ By projecting the rotating world as the hips of a human body, Liu Xinyi made the exit of human excretion become the center of the world to express humorously that an absolute center of the world does not exist. In another work <Treasure Island>(2012) in which images of financial centers at night were collected and edited to form a single island, flashy but hollow mirage of a marine city appear before our eyes. Such dreamlike landscape represents the Chinese society which has become a disaster area of the bubble economy as it vigorously pushed forward with deformed and unnecessary development.
