Along with Presence Switzerland and the Embassy of Switzerland in China, swissnex China is pleased to support the Photo-Synthesis Exhibition, a poetical series of artwork created in collaboration between Neuchâtel-based Compáz and artist-photographer David Hartwell. The artwork illustrate the poetic parallels between photosynthesis, a plant’s ability to convert the sun’s light into chemical energy, and the photovoltaic installation’s own ability to convert the sun’s energy into electricity by way of silicon cells. The trytich of solar panels are exhibited simultaneously at two locations in Beijing: at the 5th International Art and Science Art and Science Exhibition (TASIES 2019) at the National Museum of China - Nov 2-30; and at the Art Factory Café in 798 Art Zone from Nov 2-28.

In the morning of November 2, a special opening was held at 798 Art Factory Café, where Ambassador Nicolas Bideau, Head of Presence Switzerland gave welcome words and the artistic team behind the the artworks presented the artpieces. This is followed by a lively brunch reception where attendees were able to network and exchange in an intimate setting.

We would like to congratulate our colleagues at the Culture and Media Section of the Embassy of Switzerland in China for the tremendous organization as well as Lats Kladny and David Hartwell for their very successful debut in China!
