Li Qing - Rear Windows
by Jérôme Sans
Li Qing: Rear Windows, 2020
Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai, China
Exhibition Booklet
Rear Windows is an immersive and collaborative project conceived on site by the Chinese artist Li Qing as a specific storyboard, re-contextualizing the Prada Rong Zhai house and its history. Between fiction and reality, the exhibition is an odyssey throughout all the different enclaves and spaces of the house, meandering inside and out. While playing with the absence of presence in an empty house, Li Qing activates a mysterious and vibrant new dynamism to the story and connects with our contemporary existence within the Shanghai of today—a territory filled with urban myths, legends and expectations.
