Xie Qi,
‘亲密之耻 Shame
of Intimacy’
@ Perrotin
—
“What gets
exposed is not
a body-to-be-
shamed, but the
intimacy of the
creative act [...]”
Born:
1974 — Chongqing,
China.
The exhibition:
Is Xie Qi's first
solo with Perrotin,
for which she
recontextualises
photographs taken
of her friends naked
bodies — often in
denaturalised,
contorted or slightly
sexualised poses.
Layer upon layer,
she gradually
composes,
constructs,
fragments and
recomposes
‘a new body’
from the originals.
“[...] the bodies
are depersonalised;
rendered simply
as flesh.”
