Who’s?

Cao Fei, daughter of a famous Chinese sculptor, was born in 1978 in Guangzhou, China. She currently lives and works in Beijing.
She is one of the most innovative young Chinese artists on the international scene. In his installations and videos, Cao Fei investigates the expectations and dreams of the young Chinese generations. Cao’s works are an outlet for invention, but behind her playful jokes lies an uncertain world of unfulfilled desires.

Combining popular aesthetics with a documentary vision and references to surrealism, in his works Cao Fei moves strong social criticism, reflecting on the inconsistencies and hopes of his country. He uses photography, video and digital media in innovative ways to expose the dramatic changes in his daily environment – since 1992 – and in his high economic growth, urban development and the rapid globalization of China focused on its native region of the Pearl River Delta.

Cao Fei’s works have been exhibited in several international biennials and triennials, including the Shanghai Biennial (2004), the Moscow Biennial (2005), the Taipei Biennial (2006).

RMB City states Manifesto: “New orders are born, so they are new, strange wisdom” 1-A statement appropriate to the ‘setting of the work, the virtual platform Second Life, in which users, through their chosen avatars, can buy and exchange objects, build urban structures and interact with other avatars in an artificial utopia that is also part of the apocalypse.

“Asia One”, 2018

Cao Fei says «Technology has developed beyond imagination»
For “Asia One” commissioned by the Guggenheim Museum, Cao visited some of China’s most advanced industrial facilities. Including the world’s first fully automated sorting center in Kunshan, in Jiangsu Province. For this project, a hyperreal vision of the near future shifted its focus from the present to our collective future by examining the effect of technology on human relationships.

Cao Fei
“Nova”, 2019

On the occasion of her solo exhibition Blueprints, at the Serpentine Galleries, Chinese artist Cao Fei has produced two new limited edition artworks. 
The two limited editions Nova 15a and Nova 18a are two film stills from Cao Fei’s HX’ research project. The film tells the story of a computer scientist working on a secret international project that attempts to turn humans into digital mediums.

Cao Fei

A failed attempt to use his son as a test case results in the young man becoming lost in cyberspace, a spectre haunting the past, present and future worlds that continuously interact and overlap throughout the film. By mining the history of her immediate context, Cao Fei takes us on a ‘retro-futurist’ journey that goes beyond chronological time and hovers between reality and fantasy.

In her works the female subject is undoubtedly predominant. The women of are rendered in all their femininity and sensuality, dormant and dreamy but at the same time so determined and sure to be able to show their body with total ease, seducing the viewer and taking him to another dimension where everything is always immobile and eternal.
