Quick Hand Gallery is a VR piece that features a gallery environment displaying bizarre and humorous videos of laborers from rural China’s popular TikTok-esque app, Kwai (快手). Though often considered lowbrow or kitschy by China’s first-tier-city dwellers, the app is used in this piece to elevate every day to the level of performance art, which in turn questions its meaning.
This piece is on view at 女 Nǚ: Other Half of The Sky group show at B4BEL4B from January 18 to March 7, 2020.
