Pathology is a medical discipline that studies the development of disease and
elucidates its nature, often in relation to the human body. On the other hand, as
artists, we study the reality that we live in. In today’s China, where economic myths
and social ills, as well as advanced technology and ancient traditions coexist,
‚regurgitation‘ and ‚indigestion‘ are becoming the norm. In this social context, a large
number of video artists are criticizing and reflecting on such times, history, memory
and local reality. The works in this exhibition are selected from such artists, their
work, like medical ultrasounds, CTs and MRI scans, map our situation and the
current state of society through different perspectives, data and images, revealing
the potential and imperceptible lesions of society through specific methodologies
and aesthetics.

THIS EXHIBITION IS A PART OF CHINESE FILM+ CHINESE FILM AND VIDEO FESTIVAL HAMBURG 2023
