Press Release
Make Room is proud to return to Frieze LA with a solo presentation at Focus LA: The Theater of Metamorphoses, an immersive installation by multidisciplinary artist Xin Liu. Featuring a new series of mixed-media sculptures and wallworks, the exhibition expands upon Liu’s ongoing explorations of vitality, mutation, and the human quest for immortality through the lens of technological intervention.
Xin Liu transforms the booth into a metaphorical sacrificial ceremony, reflecting humanity’s enduring beliefs in reincarnation and the drive to transcend the natural limitations of life. At its core, The Theater of Metamorphoses examines how technological interventions—such as cryogenics, egg freezing, and biomedical advancements—disrupt and reshape natural life cycles, offering speculative possibilities for extending existence beyond the human condition.
