Work Creator notes (display):
The installations of the Chinese artist Shen Shaomin look at first like distorted images of reality but turn out to be facades behind which a network of meanings alludes to their historical and political backgrounds. Nearly always his artistic themes reach way back into his childhood. By mingling the past with the present and future, fact with fiction, science with fantasy, and candour with irony, he transforms memory and embeds the personal in the collective. Shen Shaomin, born in 1956 in northwest China, is now living in Beijing and Sydney. (Culturebase, http://www.cultureb… accessed 2008-09-08).
