The main piece of this exhibition, “Ultra Architecture-Garden in Mind”, was exhibited at Chinese Public Art in Kassel, 2012.
This grand-scale installation is a composition of antique Chinese furniture and wood structures. The reconstructed furniture loses its original function during this transformation.
The new composition becomes an abstract and futurist architectural space.

Colorful threads morph the content of the painting, which also dissolves the cultural message as the threads travelling within the space. Xiang heightens the exploratory participation required of the viewer by walking in or sitting inside the space.
