The windows connect to a space that eternally has the perfect blue sky with clouds flowing, at every moment of the history, at every location on this earth.

Biography

HU Jinchi is a conceptual artist—an identity as intrinsic to human existence as our very act of imposing meaning. The notion of a "concept" is, after all, a human fabrication, an anthropocentric attempt to articulate a reality that objects themselves are indifferent to. In their inherent silence, things exist beyond the stories we impose, and the endless data accumulated over the human history.

Her work cut apart these concepts in order to reconnect seemingly unrelated objects across different cross-sections. This reassembly—a methodical collage of disparate elements—does not pretend to discover any hidden truth but rather offers a canvas for reinterpretation. By weaving together unrelated fragments, I provoke conversations between the silent and the conceptual, revealing that the significance we seek is little more than the stories we choose to tell ourselves.
