On Friday, April 12, from 7pm the opening of the exhibition "Cao Fei. Meta-mentary" will take place. Lenbachhaus Munich cordially invites you and your friends.
Cao Fei (b. Guangzhou, 1978) lives and works in Beijing. In her films, photographs, and walk-in multimedia installations, she addresses the economic and social changes of our time. Digitalization, globalization, the transformation of urban and suburban structures and thus our living spaces are at the heart of her art. Her questions focus on the way we humans live and react to the developments around us and adapt to them or actively incorporate them into our lives. For her works, Cao Fei herself sometimes spends time in the virtual community using her avatar China Tracy and documents her perception of digital realities in individual imagery and distinctive artistic spaces. Invention and reality, the fantastic and the documented, the digital and the human combine to create surreal, dystopian images and individual aesthetics that can be experienced by the public. Cao Fei’s exhibition at the Lenbachhaus will also focus on how rapid social change is being accelerated by digital technologies, affecting and changing human experience and the self-image of human existence at their core.
