Notes
Zhou’s works, while often very funny, also reveal the anxiety lying just beneath the thin veneer of unremarkable daily life. Bitchy (2012) is an ordinary stainless-steel sink. Above the drain, though, floats a projected image of a person’s face, hovering just where you would eyeball him when you bend to wash your own. He curses and abuses you: ‘You’re so dirty!’
