Wang Du's 'Someday' at Zoo Zone Art Forum in Rome

Chinese artist Wang Du (born 1956 in Wuhan) presents his solo exhibition 'Someday' at Zoo Zone Art Forum in Rome, running until June 15, 2016. The show centers on everyday life and simple gestures—eating, drinking, shitting, pissing, and sleeping—that define human existence 'day after day.' In a text written for the exhibition, Wang Du explains that he re-presents his daily morning routine (drinking coffee, smoking, reading the newspaper, playing the erhu) entirely filmed and deposited, with the video showing the remains throughout the show's duration. The exhibition opened with a performance by the artist and features a missile of time symbolizing the rush of events and the unstoppable flow of daily life, three statuettes of Pope Francis in the act of blessing, a white coat, and three video stations. Wang Du reflects on the public's entertainment and his own lived experience, describing it as 'a part of my life that passed by in silence.' The exhibition is organized by Zoo Zone Art Forum, located at Via del Viminale 39, Rome.
