ENGLISH WORLD - DOKUSHO DOKUSHI "We are born alone, and we die alone" DOKU The FLOW By Lu Yang
Lu Yang's virtual worlds are born of a syncretism in which Japanese popular culture
- video games, manga, anime, pop music - dovetails with Buddhist spirituality, transhumanist theories and neuroscientific research. From this concoction, the artist brings to life hybrid creatures that transcend identity concepts of gender, sex and nationality to better understand what it means to be human in the 21st century.
For Open Space #14, his first solo exhibition in a French institution, Lu Yang conceives a unique video installation centered around his new film DOKU The Flow, the second chapter of the "DOKU" series. Derived from the Japanese word DOKUSHO DOKUSHI, meaning "We are born alone, and we die alone," DOKU is a virtual character created from the digitization of the artist's own body. The film depicts the solitary adventures of this multi-faced avatar through which Lu Yang transcends the boundaries of the physical body, exploring a new form of freedom through digital reincarnation.
K11 will host DOKU The Flow in Shenzhen next spring 2025, as a partner venue of the Fondation Louis Vuitton;
