'PAPER' Exhibition 18 June - 3 November
This was my favourite piece at the Saathci exhibition, 'Floating City' by Han Feng. An entire city landscape made of laser printed tracing paper and hung with fishing tackle. This photo was taken on a disposable camera, and so makes the piece look much darker, when in reality these huddled frames float (surprisingly) most delicately, rippling with any hint of a breeze. Really rather beautiful up close and at a distance.
"Neither sculpture nor drawing, Feng’s piece is composed of hundreds of tracing paper buildings of various sizes, their laser- printed details deriving from images of city architecture, which are grouped in dense clusters and hung from the ceiling with transparent fish tackle thread. Hovering a couple of inches off the gallery floor, Floating City has an ethereal, almost spectral quality; it shivers and sways with the movement of visitors."
