The Artificial Lens
2015, Chinese. Directed by Hu Wei.
In this piece, the artist is interested in the division of a condition of possibilities between labour and sublimity. It examines the reinvigoration of sublime highlighted by modern technology and the invisibility and performativity of labour. This endeavor manifests labour power behind the Real Abstraction - a social construct with real effects that we experience and embody.
