Xizi
Wang

Xizi Wang's practice centres around organic materials, exploring the fragility of life and the objectivity of time. Her work reflects on the absurdity inherent in existence — where time remains unshakable, yet its traces manifest sensuously through material transformation.

She investigates subtle yet profound processes such as corrosion and disappearance, alongside more overt cycles of rebirth, seeking a dialogue between the natural and the artificial. By preserving, erasing, or altering these marks, she questions the objecthood of what time does to material, and how presence and absence are perceived, recorded, and remembered.

Through the transformation of materials, she evokes overlooked feelings and memories, rendering the passage of time as both a visible and tactile presence.
