Dignity of Remembering 记忆的尊严

Many events have been erased in modern Chinese history, and the truth is hidden within a web of distorted narratives. In The Dignity of Remembering, Xiao Lu presents fragments of history as she has experienced them to ensure they are not forgotten, and the dignity of history is upheld. Amid historical upheavals, the opportunity to participate in and witness political events, protests, and violence firsthand has imbued in the artist a feeling that life is not just about mere survival.

This exhibition includes photographs and videos captured in Beijing and Hong Kong, as well as documentation of the artist’s Hong Kong performance Skew, amidst debris and rubble on the gallery floor. Visitors are invited to experience a sense of situational resonance through the perspective of legendary artist Xiao Lu.
