"The year of the rabbit - according to the Chinese lunar calendar - is intended to invite visitors on a journey in which they follow the rabbit into its burrow in a citational similarity to Lewis Carroll's story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in order to embark on a new world there."

The artist duo #sunyuanpengyu presents two installations, one in a seemingly stable format and the other in constant motion, recalling the post-pandemic socio-political conditions around the world. With their endless fascination with mechanics and systems, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu suggest the ways in which our society is reminiscent of a machine, with its core logic sometimes apparent and sometimes concealed.

“By making myself invisible, I try to explore the contradictory and often inter-canceling relationship between our civilization and its development.” Chinese performance artist Liu Bolin (@LiuBolin) began his ongoing series, Hiding in the City, in 2005 after the Chinese government destroyed the village where his studio was located in order to make space for construction projects related to the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. In this series, Bolin aims to draw attention to social and political issues by disappearing into his surroundings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For his work on view in The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, the artist stands in front of a pile of coal, covered in coal dust, to protest Chinese practices in coal production and highlight the government’s disregard for human life and environmental safety. Bolin’s print is part of the “Raw Material” section of the exhibition which explores the depletion of Earth’s natural resources due to large-scale mining, fracking, and extraction.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learn more about Bolin’s series and artistic practice in this TED Talk (@ted) and continue to follow along our virtual tour of The World to Come every day through May 1. Follow the link in our profile for the full video!

Clay-figure films, multi-screen image and field installation
In the dual-screen video, characters created with clay forge ahead in the black-and-white world. Presented at the beginning of the video, black and white embodies a world that is both cruel and humorous, real and illusory, secular and sacred.
Characters in the storyline are made of clay, whose texture echoes the rough persona, going through traumas, unavoidable difficulties and tribulations, set against the context of numerous problems people have to face. The clay figures are collectively creating a monolith, so huge as to be beyond vision, which is golden inside, emitting the light, color and sound of calling and temptation. People work for it and even offer part of themselves or others as sacrifice, yet the giant in turn continuously devours the assiduous humans. An electronic clock is running backward at full speed, flickering between "mud and meat". The film still leaves some space for interpretation, for instance, is the giant a Babel Tower? As time flows back at its will, is it a symbol of the past like a dreamy illusion? Is the film a reflection on collective human behavior, or a fable of humanlife, sickness and death?
Accompanying the video projection are some sculptural installations, embedded with screens and scattered on the ground, within which figures of the golden world are tumbling, as if placed in a golden “umbilical cord”. The viewers look down as if peeping into the well of life, so full of capricious experience that it strengthens people’s perception of fate.
