Luo Mingjun | Break Up Étoiles

Luo Mingjun | Break Up Étoiles

A price-winning series of works "Break Up Étoilée" is to be seen in Zurich.
On 105 sheets of rice paper individually mounted on wooden panels, arranged like Lao Tse's text in four rows of ten entities, Luo Mingjun broke free of calligraphy and dotted the square segments with randomly orchestrated ink marks. The result: the significantly titled Break Up, 105 "constellations" that could never be brought together as a single image, as each obeys its own laws of, for example, dispersion, centrifugal movement, and dilution, and thus cannot be copied or reproduced.
