Tides of Sand and Steel
[2017], multi-media solo exhibition expanding 7 rooms In Collaboration with Felix Kalmenson and Rouzbeh Akhbari. Sishang Museum, Beijing “Tides of Sand and Steel” is an expansive series of large scale installations and video works, that connect to and frame each other (both physically and conceptually) throughout the 7 different rooms of the museum. Based off over one year’s worth of fieldwork in villages in the Gobi Desert, (along with research in state archives and laboratories), this exhibition unpacks the narrativization of a massive logistics project, as an “anti-desertification” tactic, moving back and forth between infrastructure and narrative structure.
