Chinese artist Tianzhuo Chen combines quotations from pop, folklore and commerce to create a global snapshot between kitsch and apocalypse. AN ATYPICAL BRAIN DAMAGE is a dark and, at the same time, upbeat pop opera in which instrumental live sounds mingle with pumping beats and big-city fashion arrogance meets the camouflage jackets of Chinese rice-growers. The material for this hybrid, ecstatic ghoulishness comes from global club culture and corporate identities, from folklore and social media, and, not least, from discourses on “the Asian” and “the European” in which the East dreams up a West and vice versa.
