Guest Room:
Holly Roussell

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Holly Roussell, has decided to collaborate with a UCCA colleague at Edge in Shanghai, Ara Qiu.

Holly Roussell and Ara Qiu welcome submissions from image-based artists exploring the theme, “The content is disturbed by its shadow”.

The theme is inspired by the 2011 installation by Geng Jianyi (1962-2017). Roussell and Qiu look forward to discovering works employing the photographic medium and/or processes to explore distortion, circulation, interpretation, reconstruction, or refraction within the construction of global histories or the contemplation of present realities.
