Wenjue Lu and Chufeng Fang create soft sculptures and fiber art that merge dreamscapes and poetry with tactile materiality. Their works, often featuring natural-colored fibers, subtly explore themes of stillness, fragility, anxiety, and slowness within an ever-accelerating world. Drawing from their diverse educational backgrounds in fashion, media and cultural studies, the duo challenges the ego-driven momentum of contemporary life, reflecting their shared vision of an alternative world, where human centrality dissolves.
This exhibition showcases the initiation of their latest series of soft sculptures that, while serving as physical invitations to philosophical inquiry, instigate a dialogue between ego, multiple selves, Hegelian dialectics, and Daoism. Joining in the dialogue in this show is artist Teresa Wang and her industriously nihilistic installation works, demonstrating one possible conversation out of infinite others.
