“Nemesis”: Ai Weiwei in New York City

These are the photos of the newest installment of “Project Nemesis,” by Cuban artist Geandy Pavón. This time, “Nemesis” was dedicated to Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who has been under arrest since April 3rd, when the Chinese regime launched one of the harshest campaigns against dissent since the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989.

The performance of “Nemesis” began at 10:30 p.m., over the wall of the consulate of the People’s Republic of China, in New York City. On this occasion —as opposed to previous installments— the image that was used by Pavón was not a still photo. The projection on the wall was a film made using sunflower oil, as the surface upon which the image was reflected.

The video of the performance is being edited. Until it arrives, I have the privilege of sharing the following images. These photos are courtesy of the artist Geandy Pavón.

Please spread the word.

  1. I am wondering how I can get in touch with Mr. Pavon. I have tried reaching him through his site, but have been unsuccessful.

    Would you be able to put us in contact?

    Sincerely,
    Leonor

  2. Leonor,

    I have just forwarded your comment to Pavon. And I left a message on his cell phone. He’ll get back to you soon.

    Best,
    Alexis Romay
