Remarks:

Wang Xiaohui’s efforts span the genres of photography, video, sculpture, installation, design, writing, lighting and new media art. "Who would have expected you to turn from a talented architect to a famous photographer?” asked Prof. Becher, “I did not expect it, but it’s not a question at all; you are of course an architect. There is hardly any other field like architecture that can bring together so many different seemingly unrelated things ...The important thing is not what you have learned, but what you have done.”
