“Throughout my childhood, I dreamedabout escaping to China, up until 1999 when I went there for the first time. I would return many times thereafter, for personal and artistic projects because China, and especially Shanghai, became more than just an exotic destination - it became one of my main sources of inspiration,” said Malland.

“This exhibition represents my dream of China, intimately linked to childhood and a universal need to escape in a world that is increasingly incomprehensible.”
