Exhibition “White Villa Collection”Opening: 27 March 2020Venue: Espace Asia, 5 rue Croix Baragnon, 31000 Toulouse
Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events

This exhibition explores the notion of confrontation in Chinese contemporary photography. Belonging to the White Villa Collection, these photographs call into question the very nature of existence, social links, history, they strengthen desires that cannot be satisfied in reality. Contradictions within Chinese society are an integral part of these selected artists’ works, as a result the real world is transcended by leaving room for fiction, by using complex pictorial or digital techniques, so as to let oneirism in a globalised society, itself in search for identity and roots. This exhibition gathers eight artists – renown and emerging – and celebrates the collection’s twentieth birthday.

Exhibited artists: Cang Xin, Celine Liu, Chi Peng, Hei Yue, Liu Bolin, Wang Jinsong, Wang Ningde, Wang Qingsong
