Li Chevalier's Immersive Exhibition at Macro Rome
Li Chevalier (born 1961, Beijing) presents a solo exhibition at the Pelanda space of Macro (Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma) in Rome. The installation is guided by the string composition of Pēteris Vasks, with violins floating on a water mirror, painted with faces and writings. The works explore the search for deep meaning, dissolving Western notions of unity and absoluteness through sandy surfaces and Kandinsky-like landscapes. The exhibition invites viewers to abandon themselves to the mutability of thought and vision, like dreamers on uncharted paths of desire.
