Visual artist Xuemeng Zhang’s solo exhibition, “Other Rooms,” recently opened at :iidrr Gallery in New York City. The exhibition, on view from March 15th to March 26th, 2023, showcases Zhang’s recent work of fine art photography.
The exhibition takes viewers on a journey through imaginary spaces constructed with photographs and irregular shapes, exploring how perception affects our understanding of the world around us. In the artist’s imagined landscapes, a bird in the wild is trapped in an architectural form, and an acupuncture model finds itself lost in an amusement park. Each shaped image is a container of emotions, perceptions, and fantasies, and each container is an individual space that complements other spaces.
“This project lies at the intersection of perceived reality and built spaces,” Zhang said. The work questions how imaginary spaces form and function, and how individual perception influences and shapes the way we make sense of the world.”
Xuemeng Zhang’s work navigates between identity and culture, belonging and alienation, and perception and cognition. Her practice is driven by exploring connections between the mind and the eye. The exhibition at :iidrr Gallery is a must-see for art enthusiasts. The works on display offer a unique perspective on the power of perceptions to shape our understanding of the world around us.
Zhang’s work is an innovative and inspiring approach to contemporary photography,” said the co-founder of the Gallery. “We are excited to showcase Xuemeng Zhang’s work at our gallery, and we encourage everyone to visit and experience the exhibition.”
The exhibition is open to the public and free of charge. It runs from March 15th to March 26th, 2023, at 162 Allen Street, New York, NY.
