About artwork

Mobike Sisyphus is inspired by Sisyphus in the story of ancient Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, He was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when it nears the top, repeating this action for eternity. This piece tried to used intuition to establish a link among topics such as myths, modern shared economy, globalization and neo-colonialism, destiny, and inefficient consumption.

Subway Gym consists of three short videos that attempt to present the true state of life of the “low-end” population in today’s fast-growing cities of China.

Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Noodels mixes the Quran, Donald Trump’s interview, Chinese Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles, trying to connect  food culture with world economy and politics through a sense of humor.
