Through the work of Xuan Ye and Wenxin Zhang, filling the Klein bottle navigates the touristic impulse of contemporary cyber-capitalist culture. This multi-site exhibition is curated by Belinda Kwan.
In a world of hyperwanderlust and the tendency to dream of other dimensions, there emerges an undying itch to travel and chase novelty experiences all over the world and beyond. New media technologies intensify this longing; they program a thirst for tourism by cultivating viral notions of nomadic pleasure with vast social networks and rampant imagery reiterating over and over again that the world is indeed your oyster.
