THE OPPOSITE HOUSE GUESTS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN
“THROUGH MY EYES” INSTALLATION BY MO YI
 
BEIJING (October 18, 2011) – The Opposite House is pleased to present “Through My Eyes,” an interactive photography installation by artist Mo Yi from the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, from October 19 to December 31, 2011. Through the presentation of multiple photographs of eyes, the viewer is asked to contemplate several issues related to sight, such as race, geographic region, gender, age, experience, personality, thought and desire. The exhibition will explore the interplay between the audience, artist and photography.
Visitors are invited to have their eyes photographed on site (available two hours each day) and to help complete the installation by adding text to the edges of the resulting print. Each participant will be given an additional copy of the photograph to take home. The ever-changing installation strives to act as a bridge for expression and communication between people of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
“We’re delighted to present Mo Yi’s interactive installation as a way to explore and understand the individual response to being and reflecting on important issues that affect us all. The participation in the installation is key to this dynamic project, and we’re honored to have it at The Opposite House,” says Anthony Ross, Area General Manager of Swire Hotels.
Mo Yi has been photographing urban life in China for the past thirty years. He has widely exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Asia (China, Japan, Korea), Europe (Belgium, Germany, Italy) and the USA. His work has been collected internationally by many museums and private collectors from USA, France, Britain, Japan and China. He currently works and lives in Beijing.
The Opposite House is committed to supporting the growing contemporary Chinese art scene and emerging local artists in every medium, from sculptures to music to film. “Through My Eyes” demonstrates The Opposite House’s commitment to bringing the best art programs, establishing it as a prominent venue for culture and lifestyle.
