He Xiangyu’s installations show a passion for excavating the world of symbols alongside an efficiency in returning to the world of surfaces. His works at once emphasize the experience of life even as they observe and intervene in the world as it appears. "Tank Project" continues He Xiangyu’s attitude toward action, articulating a truth that goes far beyond pure material form.
