Is summer too far away to dream of bathing with watermelons? Or maybe it's not really about dreaming or summer or even watermelons that inspired this image for Cao Fei, the artist whose work is on exhibit at MOMA PS1 until August, the end of summer. As the MOMA PS1 would have it:
Cao Fei creates multimedia projects that explore the experiences of young Chinese citizens as they develop strategies for overcoming and escaping the realities of a rapidly changing society. Mixing social commentary, pop aesthetics, references to Surrealism, and documentary conventions in her films and installations, the artist reflects on the swift and chaotic changes occurring in Chinese society.
