Yin Xiuzhen

Yin Xiuzhen is a leading figure in Chinese contemporary art. Often she recycles materials in her art. She expalins, “In a rapidly changing China, ‘memory’ seems to vanish more quickly than everything else.” Yin Xiuzhen is one of  Luise Guest’s artists in her Piper Press book Half the Sky. Showcases her best-known works, including Portable Cities (which includes one suitcase that opens out to reveal a model of the Sydney made of used clothing) and Collective Subconscious. These works comment on the massive urban reconstruction of China and the accompanying social, physical and cultural issues
