San Yuan Li, the collaborative project by Ou Ning, Cao Fei, and the members of U-thèque Organization, is a case study of the typical “urban village” phenomenon of Guangzhou in 1990s.

The project was exhibited in the 50th Venice Biennale for the first time, and then screened worldwide.Read moreLess
