ZHAO Guang-Hui biography | artworks | events

Born in Xishuangbanna, Zhao Guang-Hui’s father is a hydraulic engineer. Where his father worked is only one Kilogram from the smuggling path beside the borderline. Zhao Guang-Hui could always see supreme modified cars, and from then on his sight never leaves these beautiful mechanical creatures. He believes that these animals of iron and steel do have souls just as those of the wild and nature. The blurred space of machine/creature ambiguity leads Zhao into thinking about evolution of species, unlimited imaginations to the future, and then the creation of his own dream of evolution. Zhao realizes his illusions and builds fish-cars with lights and bodies of vehicles and tails of fishes. Stainless steel is vividly colored, and when people pass through it surprisingly makes engine sounds. While mechanical cars swim carefreely as dancing, is it fishes in the ocean evolving into cars on the land, or cars on the land evolving into fishes of the ocean? Paradoxical fish-cars merge together the biotechnology and ancient fictions into the new era of mechanical evolution.
