Ximen District at Day, 2002<br />
Digitaldruck auf Papier, Ed. 5<br />
200 x 250 cm<br />
The artist created this image by taking<br />
pictures with a conventional camera, then<br />
reproducing, recreating and reportraying<br />
them with a computer. He makes great<br />
use of repeated “cut” and “paste” actions,<br />
erasing the city, originally bursting with<br />
traffic and flourishing with human activity,<br />
and covering it up with “unpopulated”<br />
images from different photographs of the<br />
same scene.<br />
Thus, “City Disqualified – Ximen District”<br />
shifts from concrete space to abstract<br />
time, and is juxtaposed in a highly compressed,<br />
asynchronous time frame. The<br />
artist achieved this transcendently twodimensional<br />
image by electronic scanning<br />
and piecing together many photographs<br />
in a new way. Yet each photo comes from<br />
reality. Nevertheless, this picture of the city<br />
that has been rearranged and retransmitted<br />
actually forms a completely new “video<br />
painting” that is hyper-real – lifelike yet<br />
fantastic.<br />
