Opening：2015.3.21 (Sat.) 2:30pm

After being silent for more than four years, MimiLucy follows the initial project “Never Give Up,” and will release the second chapter “BACK TO LIFE” in Chini Gallery. The project continues with two fictitious filmic figures- Mimi and Lucy. This time, they appear as a scientist and a young girl, opening up a series of mysterious image-journey. Suspenses of this story lie on the vague yet inseparable relationship between the scientist and the young girl which seems to be involved with another indistinct feminine figure. A certain powerful emotion is driving the whole story, and longing creates the unknown secrete. With the ambiguous relationship of the two artist placing themselves in and out of the images in the meantime, Project MimiLucy tries to discuss the dual positions of the artists in both reality and virtuality. When the reality proceeds with an irreversible attitude, images become the only exit which surpass life and death.The brand new exhibits are the overture of this chapter.
