In theatre, breaking the fourth wall means breaking the wall of illusion, this series of

plan view paintings has removed the ‘fifth wall’—the ceiling in each of the depicted

rooms. What is exposed, and for us to reflect on, is the relation of production in the

world of art. The artwork is not made solely by the artist; it is also shaped by curators,

art dealers, collectors, gallerists, handlers, and artisans. Each scene is an episode

compartmentalized from a larger block. From this perspective, we are no longer

absorbed in the scene. The distance allows critical detachment and the opportunity

to laugh at ourselves like characters in a comedy.

在收到关于他最新作品的反馈后，这位艺术家带着一颗土豆呆在家里。 标题夸大了安慰的平庸，用普通的蔬菜取代了戏剧性的手势。 既不是象征也不是完全无意义，土豆在不确定的时刻成为了一个伴侣，静静见证着失望。
