Breakfast with Peishan, 2025 © Huang Peishan

Crack in the Curtain, the first institutional solo exhibition of artist Huang Peishan, investigates the evolving dialogue between image and space in the digital era.

In an time where digital post-processing and artificial intelligence are deeply involved in image production, the traditional authority of photography as a “witness to reality” is undergoing profound reconfiguration. Huang Peishan’s work acutely captures this contemporary inquiry. Beginning with photography, she employs digital editing, AI generation, and cross-media techniques such as composite printing and resin casting to transform images into tangible, tactile presences. These works retain the appearance of images as documentary evidence while revealing carefully designed digital and physical fissures across their surfaces, ultimately becoming “interfaces of illusion” that drift between reality and fiction.

The exhibition constructs a metaphorical environment for embodied encounter. Everyday elements—shower curtains, railings, mirrors, flowing water—are extracted and reassembled to form landscapes that feel at once familiar and estranged. These works destabilize boundaries between private and public, allowing contradictory relationships—shelter and discipline, safety and exposure, intimacy and distance—to coexist and intertwine within a shared spatial and temporal frame.
