Curated by Zhang Chong and gathering 14 participating artists, this exhibition will last from Oct 26 to Dec 31.

Physicist Lawrence Krauss said, “The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust.”

Based on life as the pivot, we may see the key link of internal and external exchange and conversion in the world. A cell’s apoptosis proceeds at the speed of 30 micrometer each minute. However, this is also the process of life’s transition, which means its existent boundaries gradually collapse and permeate into the larger network of life, and this collapse also promotes the existence and development of the whole network of life. It may take several centuries for a whale to die, to fall into the depth of ocean and to eventually be completely decomposed. During these centuries, it changes the local environment and the distribution of biotic population, and even influences the new species evolution. Life and death, these two most basic but contradictory timelines, always interweave and coexist with each other. Life is a non-equilibrium system, and each life intentionally or unintentionally changes itself and its surroundings during the process of fighting against entropy production. Many elements consisting of our bodies also come into shape among death of countless stars.

Each life is in a “lonely island”, and each “lonely island” is a life.
