The Xie Zilong Photography Museum is set to unveil its latest exhibition, Anselm Reyle: Magic Shine Ray 800, on June 22 in Changsha, Hunan province. This exhibition will spotlight the German artist's creative journey spanning the past 12 years, featuring a diverse collection of his renowned neon installations, foil paintings, straw bale sculptures, and abstract photography pieces.

Noteworthy displays will include a bespoke neon installation created by Reyle specifically for the museum's space, alongside the artwork Windspiel (Cured Rhombus) now housed within the museum's collection.

Residing in Berlin while imparting knowledge at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Reyle is known for his adept use of found objects and materials that evoke the industrial essence of urban landscapes. His oeuvre, characterized by grandiose scale and profound intensity, delves into the intricate interplay between art's decorative allure and the realms of consumerism and industrialization.
