About Work

“Bade Area” comprises a silent video and still printouts created by Chen in 2005. It addresses the emergence of cosmopolitan cities where capital and talents converge under the influence of globalization and urbanization, as well as the gradually declining and shrinking peripheries at the same time due to the failure of industrial transformation and the uneven allocation of national resources. These areas can be called “Bade” or any other name, but they are commonly ignored and their existence is hardly recognized.
