Certain Pleasures is a retrospective catalogue on Zhang Peili (born 1957), one of the first Chinese video artists. Zhang’s work is characterized by themes of boredom and control, as shown by 30 x 30” (1988), in which a pair of hands break a mirror and laboriously reconstruct it, only to smash it again.
