Wang Jin: PVC Robe (phoenix)

This piece is part of a series called "Chinese Dream". For Wang Jin, the combination of the perfect contemporary material with an iconic shape from Chinese tradition, the Beijing opera robe, represents the path that tradition takes. In contemporary society, tradition is often shunned when actually every minute that passes becomes part of tradition. The flow of tradition through contemporary life is inevitable and important. Wang Jin is almost indifferent to the fact that plastic is transparent, he chose plastic because it is plastic and has substance, contemporary substance.
