The artist Cao Fei (* 1978) lives in Beijing. In her work she makes use of the latest digital media. Her projects lie on the threshold between reality and fiction and reflect the societal and urban situation in China. The videos, photographs, drawings and multimedia installations represent her entire artistic oeuvre. In her works, which vary between the aesthetics of documentary, film and virtual reality, Cao Fei reflects the reality of life in China and the constant fundamental changes. In doing so she also draws on her personal surroundings in Beijing. As an artist she addresses questions which are universally valid: where is the development in big cities leading? What is my place within urban society? Am I a critical observer of gentrification processes and at the same time a part of the problem?
The Beijing artist Cao Fei creates works that lie on the threshold between reality and fiction, reflecting the urban realities and societal moods of China. In her works, which vary between the aesthetics of documentary, film, and virtual reality, Cao Fei explores the nations ongoing transformations by drawing on her personal life and surroundings in Beijing. As an artist, she addresses questions that are universal to urban dwellers: Where is the development in big cities leading? What is the individuals place within a rapidly changing urban society? Is it possible to be a critical observer of gentrification processes and at the same time be a part of the problem? The videos, photographs, drawings, and multimedia installations assembled in this stunning volume capture the entire oeuvre of this internationally acclaimed artist, and embark at the same time on a critical study of gentrification and urban living.
