Project

Zhuo Qi, sculptor artist, collaborated with Jean-Charles Miot, glassblower artist, to bring back to life broken antique Chinese sculptures. The duo created a series of unique pieces, a mix of blown glass and ceramics, entitled “Bubble-Game”.
These creations are part of Zhuo Qi’s artistic approach, nourished by the daily experience of the linguistic, historical and technical clash between Chinese and Western culture.
