"Our generation’s most subversive performance artist" - The New Yorker
I became an international media sensation after my escape from captivity.
There was no warrant. No conviction.
I was. I am.
A hypothetical criminal.

Never stop questioning the truth.
Never stop questioning the story.

Caught | 10.9.2019 - 6.10.2019
This is my story.
A groundbreaking socially immersive experience commissioned by Singapore Repertory Theatre.
Enter a labyrinth where reality and fantasy blend into an incisively funny, mind-bending, and compulsively addictive experience where things are not as they first appear.
Text created by Obie award-winner Christopher Chen.
MY ROOTS
798 Art District
An art movement transformed completely,
from the inside out.
A miniature city within Beijing
devoted solely to contemporary art.
At first look a miracle.
In the heart of China's capital,
galleries brimming with provocation.
Distorted sculptures of Mao.
Murals mocking the Cultural Revolution.
With a closer look.
Things are not as
they first appear.
COMING SOON IN 2020
Caught - The true story of a dissident artist
My story. My memoir.
An imaginary protest. A life in detention.
Dedicated to my mentor Yu Rong.
"Breakfast was watery milk powder with a rock-hard piece of corn bread. Lunch and dinner was oily cabbage soup topped with a single boiled vegetable. Sometimes I did not have bowel movements for a week. Sometimes we poured food down the toilet and heard rats in the piping, feasting. They lived off our discards and screamed if they didn’t come, sometimes crawling through the toilet and we would chase them back inside."
"Usually my work is not displayed in art galleries.
Usually it occurs directly in the real world."
