Borderless

Borderless is a selection of  Wang Yishu’s works from 2016-2017. Differing from his early works, Wang’s source of inspirations shifts from human beings to objects, from complexity to delightfulness. In Borderless, the works accumulate and reinforce these transitions into an intense impression. These photographs resemble the cavities on the surface of reality, which is filled with the look of the actual world that is rather independent.

In these new photographs, Wang Yishu no longer constructs complex metaphors, instead, a sudden enlightenment towards light, colour and shadow. In some settings or moments, Wang uses strobe lights to sculpt or dissect the lighting environment of the space. He produces shadows to disturb the world in the photographs.
