Lin Xinyi, Rise of the 20th Century

Liu Xinyi’s work includes collecting many different forms of political knowledge, mixing their logic, and creating strange new contexts for them. In this way he turns knowledge that is no longer a subject of doubt into a new pathway for experiencing the world. The video work "Treasure Island" turns contemporary political figures and iconic landscapes into a pageant of ideology and capital exchange.
