Featuring VR, performance photographs, video, and neon and 3D-printed sculpture, this exhibition explores new digital possibilities for bridging gaps between memories and experience, and mediating contemporary culture with rich traditions preserved from Dong’s Chinese roots. In the space of digital experimentation and representation, Dong blurs boundaries of here and there, then and now, and the binaries of gender, merging states of being so close yet so far away.

This exhibition consists of five works:
“Reconnection,” performance photograph, 2021, 32”x 48”
“Mulan,” 2022. VR
“Becoming Fenghuang,” 2022, vidoe, 5:12 minutes.
“I am A Rainbow,” 2019, neon sign
“When I Was Born, My Father Said I Was Just Another Mouth to Feed,” 2021 – on going, 3D printed sculptures
