1. Today I finished my residence in Brescia Italy for my solo exhibition.
It has been a wonderful art journey and full of adventure from China embassy’s threat to death warning of CGTN and Chinese nationalists.
This thread will take you to some of works exhibited in this show.
2. “Carrie Xi” is first work in the show as well as the poster design.
I intentionally choose it because my forced cancelled show “Gongle” in HK used the same poster.
Its a new version of oil painting different from its original digital version.
Its my statement to censorship!
3. The Red Room is the first section to show.
All works here have an intimate relation to me personally from the masks I used while i was hiding from CCP to the Tiger Chair i bought from Taobao.
Also some 4000 handsharped pencil as China dream and my role model the great @aiww
4. The White Room
In this space,3 installations discussed topics from Tiananmen massacre watch,China‘s baby fomula scandal in 2008 and video work of my Tankman performance with many friends‘s support and participating from twitter!
5. One of the most important work from this exhibition is “WATCH”
Its an installation with my own blood (64 paintings)to complete the evidence of Tiananmen Masscare watch which rewarded to killer soilders after 1989 crackdown.
7. In the major space,Wuhan resident diary from China‘s brutal lockdown and Dr Li Wenliang and @chenqiushi404 portraits are featured.

2. When I saw the badges of Mao, I suddenly found it hard to breathe. To me, it rekindled the painful memory of my father’s tragic childhood. For this badge, once worn by millions across the country, it is still a poignant icon of the brutality of China’s ruling party.
3. Between 1957 and 1959, Mao’s Anti-Rightist Campaign purged at least 550,000 people — including most leading artists and intellectuals. My grandfather, one of the first film makers in China, was brutally persecuted and killed during this very campaign.
1. Video from 京广隧道 JingGuang tunnel , Zhengzhou.
Many cars trapped inside.
Bodies can b seen carried out from there
Media r not allowed to enter
We dont know how many lost life there and who they are.
Or Why the tunnel not shut down when flood coming?!
2. Moment when the flood was rushing to the Jingguang tunnel.
by the time people seems not paniced or intended to leave.
Looks like there is no warning from gov or traffic department at all.
The tunnel was completely flooded later.
3. video filmed after the tunnel was completely flooded.
Someone swimming out from cars and bravely rescuing others who were drowning around their cars.
Just heartbreaking!
