Prada, with the support of Fondazione Prada, presents Rear Windows, a new exhibition project by artist Li Qing, curated by art critic and curator Jérôme Sans: an immersive and site-specific installation and an in-depth exploration of the history and the space of Prada Rong Zhai, which creates a connection between the past times and the current urban environment of Shanghai. Inspired by Rear Windows, the iconic Alfred Hitchcock movie, the exhibition will examine the contradictions and the duality of our present lives, divided between authenticity and imitation, reality and reproduction. The exhibits – comprising recent artworks by Li Qing and new commissions – will “act as climatic scenes to experience the act of seeing, of being seen or observed” (Jérôme Sans).
