Constructs of Belonging
E.SCAPE Shanghai
2026.03.13 – 04.14

During my exhibition at Westbund Art Fair, Yuan Yuan Jin, director of E.Scape, saw my work and came a few weeks later to attend the opening of Letters from the Mists at Lin’s Mansion on Gulangyu Island. She invited me to do a residency at E.Scape in Shanghai the following spring, based on the theme of home. I asked the photographer Guo Guozhu to join me....


The old English Villa lies in the heart of the French Concession, still home to a few elderly local residents, while next door, luxury brands such as Longchamps and Le Maire serve exclusive coffee and drinks. This contrast frames my idea of home as a transitional space, wedged between changing landscapes, and aligns with the deeply rooted enquiries from which my work evolves.
I ‘inhabited’ the house with a selection of works from 2008 to 2026, placed in intimate dialogue with Guo Guozhu’s photographs.
