"The Face Without World-View: Solo Exhibition of Dong Wensheng", curated by Zuo Jing the Art Director of Iberia Center for Contemporary Art, is the the artist's first solo show in Beijing that also presents a number of his recent works including photographs, videos and installations. Dong Wensheng's works freely crisscrosses between installation, photography and experimental films. His work frequently includes elements of Chinese tradition with a strong link to characteristics related to the region of Jiangnan. His highly individualistic pieces often transpose the viewer into a paradoxical realm that hovers between the traditional past and the contemporary present; Dong is interested in infusing his spectators within a state of tragic psychological sadness.
