A major solo exhibition of newly commissioned works by Ruoru Mou presents a large-scale, kinetic installation environment. For her most ambitious project to date, the artist reappropriates industrial forms, cinematic tropes, bureaucratic residue, and manufacturing waste to address the material politics of luxury fashion, migrant labour, circulation and optics of value, and regulatory subjectivity.
Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Ruoru Mou’s current research draws on two industries in Tuscany where she grew up: Chinese restaurants, including one run by her family, and Chinese-owned leather goods suppliers that produce for luxury brands, a major source of employment in the region.
