Sun Yuan & Peng Yu - Le coup du Fantôme
Gare Saint Sauveur, lille3000
Gare Saint Sauveur, Lille
2013
In the context of Lille3000, in collaboration with Perrotin and Galleria CONTINUA
Lille3000 welcomed at the Gare Saint Sauveur four monumental installations by Chinese artists Sun Yuan & Peng Yu with the exhibition "Le coup du Fantôme". The provocative works of Sun Yuan & Peng Yu take as their subject the most complex issues of our contemporary time.
They are among the most controversial artists in China, employing a poignant and disturbing hyperrealism. Their installations offer a vision of the human condition in the modern world, challenging our beliefs and pointing out our buried fears in order to better expose them. It is with a dark humor that they intensely explore life and death in strange, destabilizing situations. Another disorder, to better overcome it.
