Chinese artist Lu Sisi is holding his first major solo exhibition, Sunset Drum Sunrise Bell • IV Quadrate, at Tank Shanghai until Sept 7. The work integrates film, installation and sound.

Lu, originally from the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is based between Shanghai and London. His work spans multiple disciplines - performance art, film, painting, music composition and production, sound design, and installation art.

In his work, Lu's particular passion is the theme of heritage - connecting the past and the present. His most recent work explores the relationship between man, machine and landscape.

Lu has been working on Sunset Drum Sunrise Bell since his return to China from the UK in 2020. In this project, he juxtaposed visual and audio elements in traditional Chinese culture with modern industrial images and sounds to create polyphonic structures of storytelling.

In the latest series, he turned his focus to the clay statues in Shanxi province and presented them alongside industrial videos in a structure of four screens at Tank Shanghai, an art institution at West Bund repurposed from fuel tanks of the former Longhua Airport.
