As described by Alice Kok, the curator, the Chinese title of the exhibition “想入非非” in which “非非” is a Buddhist term (in Sanskrit: naiva-saṃjñin-nāsaṃjñin). It describes a world in which the yogi in the ancient Indian cosmology survived after death. If one is to believe that consciousness continues in the world beyond, will it be a mysterious detachment between yin and yang?
Or will it be a chaos of nothingness? This space between existence and non-existence is precisely the creative territory of the architect and artist Alexandre Marreiros. As an architect, Alex describes his profession as rigorous and rigid. His work is to provide people a physical place to inhabit. It is a pragmatic process of problem solving. However, as an artist, Alex wants to go beyond the concrete. He likes to turn reality into a playground under his pen, with which he creates a space of eccentric images, positioning between the real and the imagined.
