Huanya Art Space
Wit Design and Research has designed the interiors of the Huangya Art Space for Dingji, a space that explores the art of portraiture without being profit-oriented in China.
Dingji put forward a new concept: a space, Huangya Art Space, that explores the art of portraiture without being profit-oriented.
In a time filled with competition and uncertainty due to the pandemic, Dingji persists in stubbornly 'discussing art' – a practice that seems detached from commercial interests yet truly elevates the production of portrait photography to its utmost perfection.
Within the corridors of the studio's exhibition hall, a scene of mechanical aesthetics unfolds.
Dingji's artistic output is not akin to either the oil portraits of the 16th-century Renaissance or the slow imaging of cameras in the 19th century.
It exists within a futuristic realm of silver and metallic textures, where capturing, storing and managing photos online is unrestricted by technology and photos never fade or get lost.
This project has been shortlisted in the retail interior category of Dezeen Awards China 2025.
