Quick Hand Gallery_

Project info

Quick Hand Gallery is a VR piece that features a gallery environment displaying bizarre and humorous videos of laborers from rural China, from the popular TikTok-esque app Kwai (快手). Though often considered lowbrow or kitschy by people in China’s first-tier cities, the app is used in this piece to elevate the everyday to the level of performance art, which in turn questions its meaning.

About the work

This piece was on view in 女 Nǚ: Other Half of the Sky, a group show at B4BEL4B, from January 18 to March 7, 2020.
