Wang Chen "Fractured Delights"

Fractured Delights reimagines landscapes through the complex experiences of migrant displacement and identity transformation – it is not only a physical movement from one place to another but also a continuous inner journey, involving the ongoing recalibration of an individual in both worldly and spatial dimensions. The visitor of the exhibition is led into a captivating virtual world and encouraged to think about social issues.

This work combines digital technology and traditional artistry, creating an immersive experience exploring the shifting layers of identity and belonging among complex political backdrops. It presents a landscape of entangled and pulsating elements that together present ways of considering possibilities of imagined worlds. Fractured Delights demonstrates numerous processes of making and breaking: drawings, uniforms, performances and sounds are built up into complex image structures only to lead to a collapsible, unsuccessful utopia.
