Shuang Li's storm-chasing exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel
Shuang Li's first institutional solo show in Europe, 'Alliance,' opens at Kunsthalle Basel, running until 12 September. The exhibition centers on a new film installation about storm-chasing, inspired by TikTok videos of tornadoes. Li, born in 1990 in China and based in Berlin and Geneva, trained at New York University. Curator Mohamed Almusibli describes the work as immersive, making viewers feel the texture of technology. Li draws parallels between tornadoes forming over flat land and today's flattened media landscape, exploring ecology, data infrastructure, and human desire. The show avoids dystopian clichés, instead offering a tender reflection on navigating chaotic systems.
