“Tableau Vivant and the subversive feminine’ will investigate the nature of Tableau Vivant as a theater of representation that addresses queer identity, sexuality, perversion and gender politics in China through an exploration of the ontology of the photographic image in relation to the phenomenology of the gaze and its scopic field.

These series of photo-installation are concerned with the materialization of Chinese trans-sexuality during the early twenty first century; a trans-sexual that acts upon a semiotic deconstruction of the body as a signifier, thus becoming the agent of processes of gender construction, transgression and transformation. These productions describe and are encrypted in the social mapping of sexual behavior, and are articulate through category formation of "male" and "female" paradigms. A semiotic exchange by which gender becomes the conceptual stage for negotiating sexuality, forging as well a cultural ground that provides transsexuals, transgender and cross dresser individuals with the resources they needed to negotiate their presence in contemporary China.​
