"Portable Cities" of Yin Xiuzhen
Originally a student of painting, Yin Xiuzhen has made her reputation with work incorporating fabric
and thread.
"When I began this series, I was constantly traveling,” says the artist. “I saw the baggage conveyor at the baggage claim every time I traveled. Many people waited there. I was one of them. Since I always traveled with a huge suitcase, it felt like I was traveling with my home."
"People in our contemporary setting have moved from residing in a static environment to becoming souls in a constantly shifting transience. The suitcase becomes the life support container of modern living… The holder of the continuous construction of a human entity."
