ABOVE ZOBEIDE

Eventi Collaterali XXX Biennale Arte 2024
Exhibition from Macao, China

ORGANIZED BY

Macao Museum of Art

20 aprile 2024 - 24 novembre 2024

Inspired by Zobeide, one of Italo Calvino’s invisible cities, Wong Weng Cheong explores the historical impact of materialistic desire within the context of colonization and globalization. A series of large-scale installations and digital prints recreate an urban-pastoral landscape inhabited by mutant herbivores with unnaturally long limbs. The contrast between civilization and mutation reflects a universal apocalyptic anxiety, inviting to reflect on the intricate relationship between mankind and its environment.
