Five-Mile Mist 如坠五里物中 is an exhibition with an aversion to material, digital, and architectural objects. It explores the impact of the rapid churn of objects on the human psyche. The works exhibited are acts of resistance — manipulating dystopian imagery; rhythmic ambience; fetishist dilemmas; satirical undertones and mass-produced items. The works detach, agitate and confuse allowing the viewer to reposition themselves within a society indoctrinated by objects.
This group of artists, Edward de Souza, Luca Feldman, Ziyi Wei, Hugh Burry, and James Brett, consider contemporary art and culture through prisms of fantasy, literature, beauty, technology, architecture, poetry and desire.
