In Jia Aili’s new work, Boy Looking for Balance in the Sun, multiple structural relationships are suspended within a single image. Jostling against each other, Jia’s abstract surfaces and anonymous figures gesture toward a new internal realm where traditional perspective is replaced with a timeless panoramic view—a futuristic landscape of grafted, inchoate memories, an apocalyptic world somehow still bright with hope.
