PHILOSOPHIE

DATE
2015

For PHILOSOPHIE, Bai scans every illustration in dtv-Atlas Philosophie, cuts the diagrams into separate visual modules, and reassembles them into an image that can extend across a wall. Arrows, classification boxes, and flowcharts retain the appearance of an ordered body of knowledge, but are detached from the chapters and lines of argument they originally served.

MEDIUM
Scanned illustrations, digital print, and wall installation; dimensions variable
EXHIBITION
The 1st Shenzhen Contemporary Art Biennale, Shenzhen
