On the occasion of the exhibition, the publishing house KERMESSE, with the support of Derouillon, is releasing the artist’s first collection of poems, published in a bilingual Mandarin-English edition.
“This book collects a series of short stories I wrote between 2023 and 2025. The title, huile de vitre (“Glass Oil” in English), is borrowed from Gaston Bachelard’s The Psychoanalysis of Fire. Glass oil is a substance that does not exist. The transformation of glass into oil resembles the mystical exchange between spirit and matter—where life becomes death, death is reborn, the five elements rotate, energy circulates, and all things are neither created nor destroyed, endless and infinite.” Shuo Hao
