For the 2022 edition of Art Basel Hong Kong, de Sarthe is pleased to present “Utopian Reality”, featuring works by contemporary artists Mak2, Zhong Wei, and Lin Jingjing. The exhibition showcases a series of imagined spaces that speculate alternative paradigms beyond the existing boundaries of physical reality.

Living in an accelerating era, the desperation for escape has developed universal resonance. The featured artists offer three different approaches to contemporary escapism, all of which cater to humanity’s determined refusal to accept reality as is. Through manipulating the narratives of reality, the selection of artworks reveals parallel dimensions untethered by the anchors of real life – a utopia in which our need for more can be satiated.
