For his exhibition My Personal Universe at UCCA, Zhan Wang started the project by blowing up a giant boulder in the mountains of Shandong province while recording the event on high-definition (HD) video from six different angles at 2,000 frames per second, later producing three-minute clips.
The six HD works are projected onto giant screens in the UCCA Big Hall. Suspended throughout the exhibition space are over 5,000 stainless-steel replicas of the stone fragments from the blast: their gleaming surfaces reflecting the footage of the explosion into infinity, reminiscent of the birth of the universe.
10 am to 5 pm, until Feb 25. UCCA Hall, 798 art zone, 4 Jiuxianqiao Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-5780-0200
