Interactive performance installation. Tang Dixin consistently emphasizes the site-specificity and eventality of art, often through pieces that challenge the artist himself and provoke viewers. In Reverse, a human-powered propeller is set against a massive industrial fan. In a setting that recalls extreme sports, Tang Dixin finds an expression for the instinctively alienated state of his generation. Viewers are invited to participate in the piece.
