The New Normal: China, Art, and 2017 at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art displays works by artists from home and abroad.

During his recent travels to Dongguan, Li found a company that had laid off most of its workers, and managers who had organized the remaining workers to plant vegetables as a way to alleviate stress.

So, Li produced a video called Jungle to show the workers farming.

Thus, he touched on the dilemma of the workers, who migrate from the countryside for a better-paid job than farming, and how they have to do farm work again.

Tinari says the world is undergoing many changes which is causing tension.

"I feel people can return to art and find a way with which they will better understand reality," he says.
