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 />
