At first glance, this could almost be two lions rearing against the night sky, their manes rendered in molten gold. Look closer, though, and what Chinese photographer Ziqiang Luo has actually captured is something rooted deep in folk tradition: a fire-based performance art still performed at festivals and celebrations across the country, in which sparks, flame, and molten metal are transformed…
You Never Did Anything Wrong opens at the Hayward Gallery on November 24 this year, running until March 7 2027. It’s Goldin’s first UK institutional show since 2002, and as we previously reported, sees her turning her lens on classical art and sculpture. That in itself…
