Group exhibition at Taikang Space<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most recent exhibition at Taikang Space, \u201cLa Chambre Claire,\u201d was a laid back affair that brought together five works capable of being addressed to the idea of \u201cphotography.\u201d To have enlisted Barthes\u2019 original title was a pleasant way to frame the show. None of these works are straight photography; instead, in the words of the exhibition text, \u201cThis is an exhibition without photographs but the phantom of photography is everywhere to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the central room here that was the most striking, with Liu Wei\u2019s often-quoted \u201cAs Long As I Can See It\u201d series of 2006 (shown that year at Beijing Commune), wherein Polaroid photographs of ordinary objects were presented alongside the objects themselves (a fridge door, a washing machine), which had been brutally sawn off to conform to the photograph\u2019s composition. These works offer a candid play on the relationship between reality and its image as abducted by the lens \u2014 where a photograph is widely perceived to be a simple subtraction from reality (remember the verb to \u201ctake\u201d a photograph), what if reality were to be re-presented as per that image?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although simple at the outset, these are compelling works whose action generates questions about perception, the integrity of images and the power of the auteur to control and tell of these relationships. Also here was \u201cWork 15#,\u201d a production of this year by Liu Chuang. A plain white structure of a room with a blank doorway cut into it becomes the stage for a gradually expanding and contracting blue light from a facing projector. The vivid, colored area casting soundlessly over an empty form offered an original contemplation on the transmission of light onto a waiting surface (photographic paper, film), as well as a smooth minimalist statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The rest of the works in the exhibition were somewhat underwhelming in comparison with these two, perhaps lacking the effective combination they share of the visual and physical. Zheng Guogu doubled the inherent illusion of photography, rendering a photograph almost imperceptibly as an ink painting on silk (\u201cThe Line In Front of MoMA\u2019s Entrance,\u201d 2008-9); the adjacent installation by Wang Yuyang called \u201cLet There Be Light\u201d (2012) enlists this infamous sentence as a code governing the shutter speed of a camera hidden in a walk-in black box, set off by the entrance of a visitor. Upstairs, Zhang Liaoyuan\u2019s wall of A4 paper packets imply the onset of images on white fields and form an image themselves from the patterns and captions of the packaging. This is an idea that could, like the premise of the exhibition as a whole, have been explained and extended to better effect. As it stood, two strong works were able to speak for themselves, where others \u2014 and the wonderful writings of Roland Barthes \u2014 did not instill themselves enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
