Bingxu Qiang
Exist
In ‘Exist’, Bingxu Qiang meditates on issues within sex-selective Chinese pregnancy-termination practices, a personal response to learning that he himself was almost aborted and that what would have been his sister was. Fantasising towards a world according to eyes which never existed, the technical sensitivity of his camera sensor is utilised in picturing strangeness, disorientation and the surreal amongst the everyday, as if one had never been to this world, or was seeing it for the first time. Here the camera becomes a tool for introspection, producing dream-like textures which blur the line between reality and perception. Through this distinctive visual language, Bingxu seeks not only to reflect the world but to scratch at deeper structures and meanings.
