Xin Liu debuts The Theater of Metamorphoses at Frieze Los Angeles 2025, presenting an immersive installation that interrogates humanity’s pursuit of immortality through technological intervention. Centered on a monumental triptych, the exhibition features a bronze cast of the artist’s mouth encased in semi-transparent, spine-like structures, with a cooling mechanism that evokes frost-laden extraterrestrial landscapes—bridging themes of cosmic exploration and the fragility of preservation. Accompanying mixed-media sculptures, such as Primula Flowers, merge industrial materials with organic forms, reflecting on humanity’s manipulation of natural cycles through cryogenics, biomedicine, and genetic engineering. Liu’s speculative narrative weaves together the aesthetics of failure, the tension between transformation and impermanence, and our yearning to transcend biological limits, inviting viewers to contemplate the boundaries of existence in an era of rapid technological and cosmic ambition.
