Li Ran, Born Again
Li Ran2012
UCCA Center for Contemporary Art
Beijing, China
Li Ran frequently casts himself as the singer in a dubbed music video, utilizing strange and unnatural accompaniments to soundtracks as a way of hinting at a certain discomfort in our cultural experience. In Born Again, this “Li Ran” appears on different screens teaching various exotic musical techniques. In these imitations of fast, flat entertainment, a distinct cultural pathology is revealed.
This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition "ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice, ” 2013
