In the context of contemporary art, visual expression has long transcended the realm of formal language, becoming a critical practice that deconstructs, reconstructs, and challenges historical experiences, social structures, and the politics of perception. Especially within the Chinese context—where global capitalist logic intersects with the tensions of local culture—artists continuously expand our understanding of “vision”, “the body”, “nature” and even “being” itself through diverse media and complex semiotics. Against this backdrop, this book focuses on three representative Chinese contemporary artists—Li Xinmo (b. 1976), Ai Weiwei (b. 1957), and Zheng Bo (1974)—seeking, through interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives, to reveal the political sensibilities, ethical dialectics, and ecological reflections embedded in their works, as well as their manifold revelations for contemporary society.
