Hengxi Chen: New Organs I — solo exhibition by Hengxi Chen at L Gallery, Hangzhou, 31 Oct – 12 Nov 2025.
When electronics become our new organs.
In contemporary society, the frequency with which we use smart devices has long surpassed that of most natural organs in our bodies. In fact, once deprived of them, modern humans become restricted and delayed, as if having lost a certain physiological function. Smart devices emit light at night, and through them, we become luminous creatures like anglerfish.
This series records the nocturnal traces left by “modern humans”: a new physiological phenomenon extended through technology.
