This smoke is the sign of water dissolving in fire. About 'Innumerable Fires' by Yeni Mao

This text serves as an excitation to Innumerable Fires, Yeni Mao's second solo exhibition at Campeche Gallery. Its form is intended to mirror the device that frames, contains, and supports the work: a wooden framework that defines a space slightly smaller than the gallery itself, with the pieces mounted on its beams, leaving a corridor of about twenty inches on each side. In this setting, quotations become objects within the space.
