Faces that veil, blur, and multiply: this is the essence of the new exhibition the gallery dedicates to Yi Lian, an artist born in Jiangxi and now based in Hangzhou. The show brings together works created between 2008 and today that explore the spiritual condition and appearance of the contemporary individual, probing what the artist defines as the “folds of reality.” On display are nine works in different formats: from video-ceramic installations developed during a long residency in Jingdezhen to pieces conceived at the height of the pandemic, reflecting mental states suspended between the mediation of screens and social control. Alongside these, a project of three thousand photographs captures the invisible passage of daily time. Video, ceramics, installation, and photography become tools to give form to authentic yet elusive faces - mirrors of being and, at the same time, intimate projections. Visages invites viewers to glimpse, behind each image, the fragile and rough folds of existence that resist any linear narrative.
