Non-narrative video work By Li Chen & Gregori Zilber draws parallels between the physical and metaphorical qualities of glass and the treacherous world of interpersonal relationships.
In four vignettes, we view the artists romp, rage, and regroup in Surreal landscape that is revealed, upon closer inspection, to be acres of broken glass.
Each fresh from a difficult breakup, the artists are seen commiserating in this strangely beautiful setting, itself a portrait non only of the artists as they struggle against their self-destructive nature, but of the material in which they choose to work.

"Chen's minimalist installation addresses personal narratives related to issues of femininity and gender roles. Paraphernalia, from ordinary daily beauty-care routine, and household chores are translated into meticulously crafted glass objects and placed within their natural habitat. yet, this habitat is transformed into a cold, lifeless, and alienated setting of surgical sterility"

Characterized by architectural precision, purity of line, and brightness of form, these at once material and immaterial volumes are complemented by light that heightens their refractive properties and enhances their chromatic assemblies
