Sound Absorber (Silkscreen Print on Mirror), 2015 - Zhang Ding
about this work
Sound Absorber (Silkscreen Print on Mirror) (2015) was produced to accompany the first solo UK institutional project by Chinese artist Zhang Ding, entitled Enter the Dragon, presented by the ICA, London and K11 Art Foundation in 2015. Sound Absorber consists of a gold silkscreen image printed on the back of a mirror. Showing a close-up of a sound absorbent material, this is a detail of artwork that hangs on the mirrored walls of Zhang Ding's installation.
“During the Orbit of Rock,
artificial texture was absorbing aggressive sound;
In the kind of need,
flame was burning out with the gold;
What the cooling-down is,
no longer brilliant but still fascinating.”
