EdiXion self-portraits. Miranda Fengyuan Hang: my practice

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Miranda Fengyuan Zhang’s work is inspired by her childhood memories. In times of economic hardship, her grandmother used to unravel old sweaters to reuse the yarn and make new clothes for the whole family. A circular process, like most women’s work: in the past or even today, in many parts of the world. An infinite repetition of gestures fundamental to everyone’s life, in a use of women’s time, consumed without being able to become history.

The artist gives life to her canvases through knitting or weaving. Two ancient gestures that require a manual skill that is now rare. But it is precisely the duration of these gestures that gives Miranda the dimension of time. A time that is finally empty, to travel with the imagination.
