Three painters in Dafen, China encounter three self-portraits by Swiss artists. The Chinese copies then travel back to Zurich where they encounter the painters of the original works. Three transcultural dialogues on painting begin. The originals, the copies and the films documenting and reflecting each process meet both experts and public.
The resulting installation is conceived as space for thought, where cultural conceptions of original and copy can be discussed and explored.
