Sensual Landscapes: An Interview with Li Shuang

‘Intro to Civil War’ is the new exhibition at Open Forum, which showcases the work of Chinese artist Li Shuang. Through the use of video, sculpture, sound and architectural intervention, Li explores the bio-politics of sex and the body. The exhibition highlights the struggle between technology and human intimacy, as well as the politicised bodies of women, through a fictional conversation between an AI sex doll and the ancient concubine after whom it’s modelled.
