Cang Xin

Cang Xin (born 1967) is an artist based in Beijing working in performance art and photography.

His works have included bathing with lizards, adorning the clothing of strangers, and prostrating himself on icy glaciers: each act represents a ritual of becoming the other.

These objects varied from bugs to posters to buildings and roads to the Great Wall of China.

[5] He also exhibited in several public galleries around the world, including China, Australia,[6][7] USA, Spain[8] and Italy.

During a special exhibition focused on chinese contemporary artists, the auctionner Marc-Arthur Kohn organized the sailing of Cang Xin's masterpieces.
