Soft landing ... Yin Xiuzhen's

Yin Xiuzhen, "La Venere di stracci" di Pistoletto, si trasforma, si scompone nel lavoro di quest'artista cinese, che viaggia per il mondo raccogliendo vestiti utilizzati per le sue sculture. Le stoffe colorate diventano un grande areoplano o valigie che contengono piccole città trasportabili. Mercuriano e vitale, compie un'attività appassionante.

International Flight has a life and energy of its own. This piece has been exhibited before in Beijing, Singapore and San Francisco. In each city the work is slightly different because of the different types of clothes that are donated in each location for the project. Yin Xiuzhen uses discarded clothes as a way to make intimate connections between different bodies, communities, occupations, locations and experiences. Similarly the series Portable Cities (2004) uses found materials. The brightly coloured fabric cityscapes feature well known landmarks. Yin Xiuzhen has made four new suitcase cities for On Reason and Emotion - Paris, Lisbon, Hong Kong and Sydney.
