Isolation, the division of the classes, and the projected decline of international capitalism are key subjects of Fei’s work, which continuously draws on a wide variety of sources from both Western and Eastern worlds.
On the occasion of its new exhibition within the framework of the Fondation Louis Vuitton "Hors-les-murs" program, "My Future is not a Dream" showcases a selection of Cao Fei’s works from the Collection which were displayed at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in 2016 for the exhibition "Bentu.
