DE SARTHE is pleased to present What We Are, inaugurating the year with a eight-artist group exhibition that reflects upon manifestations of human nature under contemporary context. Featuring a curated body of videos, installations, photographic works, as well as works on canvas, the exhibition inquires into the corners and alleys of the human psyche and illumines both the motivations and complexities behind our subconscious-driven behavior.

From the seven capital virtues and deadly sins to modern science and psychology, the subject of human behavior has been speculated, theorized, judged, and justified on repeat. While our actions, and the consequences of said actions, have evolved along with the eras, the core ethos that governs humanity remains seemingly familiar. What defines humanity on the most fundamental level? What are we as a collective entity?

Participating artists: Dong Jinling, Lin Jingjing, Lin Zhipeng A.K.A. 223, Mak2, Xin Yunpeng, Zhong Wei, Zhou Wendou and Ma Sibo

Gallery address; 26/F, M Place, 54 Wong Chuk Hang Road
