Today, everyone is a photographer. This everyday phenomenon reveals the close entanglement of images with life, while also obscuring the inherent complexity and difficulty of photography. As Graham Clarke once observed, photography always leaves us with a lingering, unanswerable question: what is a photograph?<\/em><\/p>\n Cao Fei has remarked that her images are not \u201cnatural\u201d reproductions of reality, but collages of fictional scenes, virtual emotions, and imagined experiences\u2014\u201cyet it must be admitted, all these hypotheses come from my true memories.\u201dSpanning nearly a quarter of a century, Cao Fei\u2019s photographic practice has unfolded alongside the acceleration of life and technology. Her works have subtly mirrored our own conditions of existence, urging us to ask: why images, why photography?<\/p>\n Starting from October 8th this autumn, Cao Fei: Photographic Journey<\/em> will enter its \u201csecond season.\u201d It examines both the transformations of everyday life since the turn of the millennium and the evolving condition of the photographic medium itself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Journey through \u201cCosplayers, Post Garden, Nova\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n Cao Fei, Twilight, <\/em>from Post Garden <\/em>series, <\/em>2011, inkjet print on paper, 90 \u00d7 120 cm<\/span><\/p>\n Like a fast-forward and rewind through time, in this space we encounter portraits of young people at the dawn of the new millennium, where the boundaries between life and play blur in the shifting roles of \u201ccosplayer\u201d and \u201cun-cosplayer.\u201d These images lead us into the worlds of Post Garden\u00a0<\/em>and artificial intelligence. Between the virtual and the real, the fictional and the actual, \u201cnova\u201d emerges in a tunnel where past and future converge, accompanied by the joys and sorrows of growing up in this earthly realm\u2014until, almost imperceptibly, the future has already arrived.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Location: MG Projects@ Re-space<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Does the farther journey lie at the borders of the human? At Re-space, we encounter a single photograph. Within the jungle of plants, we arrive at a boundary between inner and outer spaces. Cao Fei continually constructs speculative virtual scenes that reveal both the hopes of accelerated digital life and the uncertainties it entails.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n Born in 1978 in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, Cao Fei graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art in 2001. She lives and works in Beijing. Cao Fei works across moving image, photography, theater, writing, and Second Life films, using diverse media to reflect on contemporary life.<\/p>\n About the Artist >><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n All art works by Cao Fei \u00a9 the Artist<\/span> <\/p>\n Vitamin Creative Space<\/p>\n Cao Fei: Photographic Journey (Season Two) Journey through \u201cCosplayers, Post Garden, Nova\u201d<\/strong> Journey through \u201cLooking Out from the Edge of the Transhuman\u201d Address<\/strong> Daily Opening Hours<\/strong> Please\u00a0make an\u00a0appointment<\/a> to visit the exhibition via the official website of Mirrored Gardens.<\/p>\n Website:\u00a0mirroredgardens.art<\/a> Today, everyone is a photographer.
