Influenced by manga, Hong Kong movies, rap and video games – but also by the venerable Chinese traditions of the opera, theatre and dance – Cao Fei combines work modes that look into the social consequences of the impact of global capitalism on development in China. At the Biennial she is presenting a new creation.
