Don't Panic is ZHOU Xiaohu’s recent work specially made for EDIT: Image Fetish and Phobia in September, 2012. A classic black and white photo of Pablo Picasso is printed on lycra elastic fabric. Several massagers are installed behind the fabric, at the same positions that correspond to the figure’s chest and cheek. When the massagers are running, Picasso is no longer an inanimate photographed object, but turns into a lifelike personage whose chest and face are undulating along with the breathing.
