Chen Zhe infuses his videos with the language of film, and the ambiguity and in-betweenness that results has become his trademark. "Muhammad Ali, Superman, and the Secret of the Banana," a work that includes both4-channel video, oil paintings painting and video, emits a visual sparsity and coldness which resonate with his interest in the theme of the violent relations between systems and their constituent bodies.

This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition "ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice, ” 2013
