Chinese painter Haiying Xu (born 1975) frequently depicts herself in spectral, isolate situations, such as bare rooms or dark, ankle-deep water, surrounded by a cavalry of spirit creatures and dragon forms. Collectively, her self-portraits and dream tableaux allegorize a China of irretrievable pasts and unknowable futures. This volume reproduces a large selection of her works, alongside installation shots.
