2014 JZAC, Shanghai

JinZe Arts Center, Shanghai, Mascha Mioni, Artist in Residence

During October and November 2014 Mascha Mioni was artist in residence at the JinZe Arts Center, Shanghai. Here we display some pictures of the works she created during her stay.

JinZe is a very inspiring island on the outskirts of bustling Shanghai. Although a lot of work is still in progress, it becomes a quiet and peaceful place towards the evening. After the relaxing night, the busy day enhances the feeling of opposites surrounding us in China. Black and White are the colors of Yin and Yang – opposites constantly changing and only finding fulfillment together.
The hard life of the pickers of the soft and fluffy balls in the cotton fields.
Everybody rushing to mount step by step on the fragile ladder „Purpose of Life“, made out of discarded rice straw.
Red and White are the colors of the Swiss flag, but also the symbols of good fortune and of mourning and death in China.
Out of the old textile factory surroundings rise like Phoenix from the ashes the multicolored bright JinZe Girls ready for new challenges of life.
