In her large-scale instal­lations, she works with barbed wire, bamboo, silk and clothes hangers--a collection of materials that has since come to be her trademark. In her work she often ­reflects on political and social concerns yet not in a conspicuous way. In her earlier instal­lations, she preferred to focus on the cultural past of China and, against this background, her own ­influ­ences and identity, today she is primarily concerned with the global increase of ­vic­timization. This ­catalog presents for the first time a concise ­insight into her artistic de­velopment over the past 25 years, with the main focus on the two ­installations ­realized in 2018 for the exhi­bition at Schwartzsche Villa in ­Berlin. The spaces and the works enter into a compo­sitional relationship that may be ­described as an aesthetic state of tension between emptiness and intervention. The ­result are  images« of a reality in which, to name just two of the materials used, the ­contrast of silk and barbed wire represent the contradictions that tend to determine modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibition: \u003cbr\u003e Schwartzsche Villa, Berlin-Steglitz, 29\/6- 26\/8\/2018\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Snoeck Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969168294039,"sku":"9783864422669","price":3229.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783864422669.webp?v=1782920727","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/qin-yufen-leben-kat-schwartzsche-villa-berlin-steglitz-9783864422669","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
