THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Roundabout, the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Shanghai-based artist Shi Zheng. The exhibition features isolated inspections of man-made infrastructures, recreated via varied virtual mediums, and channeled through a body of video installations and photographic works.

Using tools of video games, artificial intelligence, and digital rendering, Shi Zheng reduces reality into pure logical learnings. The artist removes the traces of human subjectivity from inherently social objects such as newspapers, living spaces, and transportation networks, crafting familiar imagery through the lens of a detached observer. Underlined with heightened senses of absence and presence, the artworks also simulate a tranquil passage of time, yet in a vacuum that is severed from time and space. As if moving around and around a roundabout, the presented realities develop continuously - without fail, change, nor an end.

Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang
