This week at Frieze LA, Make Room Gallery will present artist Xin Liu’s solo series The Theater of Metamorphoses at Focus LA. At booth F04, Liu will create an enveloping installation that features mixed-media sculptures and wall art. Here, viewers are immersed in a figurative sacrificial ceremony, acting as an extension of the artist's fascination with life, transcendence, and humanity’s practice of utilizing technology to achieve immortality, or rather, creating loopholes in the natural cycle of life.
Liu’s triptych The Theater of Metamorphoses, which the series is centered around, considers the push and pull between the polarities of life: the hard endurance it takes for any living thing to survive, considered against the ever-looming reality of imminent death.
