Zhao Zhao, Repetition

Zhao Zhao uses art to challenge reality and the ideological traditions on which it is based. The radical, even anarchist tendencies displayed in his work come from his emphasis on individual free will. Repetition is a cube composed of smaller cubes of stone cut from dilapidated ancient Buddha sculptures. Zhao Zhao attempts, from the perspective of commodity fetishism, to meditate on the question of religious belief.
