+ About the work

Yutao Gao’s Two and a half, Relic surveys a series of photographic representations of sacred objects from one of Germany’s most ancient cathedrals; Aachener Dom in the Lower Rhine Basin.

Shrine of St.Felix shows an extraordinarily fine 11th Century casket. Different generations of photographic image making are collapsed into one frame in a gesture that seems to symbolise an offering towards a conceptual understanding of time in relation to visual representation.

The image transports us back into history via Charlemagne’s casket and onwards to the present, where the artist’s gentle physical touch, multiplies the object futurewards.

“菲利克斯的圣体匣”展示了一件精美的十一世纪灵柩。不同时代的影像破碎并重新汇聚在单帧摄影作品之中，这样的一个行为姿态是对于时间以及其视觉表现的概念符号。二维的图像世界被扫描拉长，扩展。拉扯观众于古代与现实之间。 出生于1988年，高郁韬是中国与欧洲摄影界的冉冉之星。高郁韬拥有德国杜塞尔多夫艺术学院研究生学位，并得到其教授卡塔琳娜·弗里奇荣誉大师生称号。

高郁韬在2016年获得三影堂摄影奖。在此之后，他的作品多次与国际大师达米恩·赫斯特，托马斯·斯特鲁斯，安德烈亚斯·古尔斯基，弗朗西斯·培根等的艺术品一同出现在展览馆。
