Cong Lingqi - The White Rabbit Gallery (Quotidian)

I really wanted to mention Cong Lingqi even though I can't remember (or find) the name of the artwork that I saw. I still thought it was worth mentioning, as I found it very intriguing. I can't seem to post a photo, so here is an accurate description I found on a site when searching for the illusive image.

"Comprising 210 hand-made miniscule objects from a flyswatter to a drill, they are suspended in a blackened space, their shadows caught in the beam of theatrical light. It has a galactic quality to it and yet, as silhouettes they are cast as memories soon to be outdated by a newer model."

I'd recommend visiting the gallery. It is showing a number of works from a variety of contemporary chinese artists.
