Effects of light
In a solo show named Remains of the Day, artist Shi Jing pursues a conceptual exploration of light, through cameras, TV programs and reflective surfaces. His latest installation piece features a 24-hour news channel projected on to a mirror ball, which disperses it into a rainbow of hues.
