Cai Dongdong Rice from Heaven, 2024 Hand-printed silver gelatin photograph, rice 66.5 × 51 cm (framed) Edition of 1 + 1 AP Cai Dongdong (b. 1978, Tianshui, Gansu) began his career as a portrait photographer in the People’s Liberation Army, which became his formal training in photography. After returning to Beijing, he opened his own studio and developed a distinctive style using archival and found photography combined with installation. Cai transforms photographs into “photo-sculptures” by integrating objects like mirrors and arrows, drawing on Duchamp’s Dadaist influence. His recent solo exhibitions include Obstacles at Villa Heike, Berlin (2023) and Miss the Target at Light Society, Beijing (2023). Group exhibitions include Working on History at Staatliche Museen Zu Berlin (2017) and Évidences du réel at Musée d’art de Pully, Switzerland (2017).
