Of Wolves and Gunpowder
In his works, the Chinese artist integrates numerous narratives and traditions. In Berlin, they include impressive fabric wolves that appear to chase through the room in a pack. Huge wall pictures with mysterious signs supplement the ensemble. We would like to make up a story about these things, tell it, and then think about how we can make it come alive on paper.
