Ai Weiwei - Study of Perspective - Three New Timed Editions from The Skateroom SOLD OUT
Building on the success of two acclaimed collections, The Skateroom's third release with Ai Weiwei reimagines three key photographs from the artist's controversial series Study of Perspective as striking skate decks.
Timely and provocative, the collection critiques global power structures. Among the featured designs are White House, as well as a “visual attack” on the Eiffel Tower and the infamous Tiananmen Square — a powerful reminder of political oppression and resistance.
Study of Perspective, a collection of photographs showcasing the artist’s middle finger resolutely pointed at major global landmarks, is a prime example of this unbreakable fusion between art and activism, so characteristic of Ai Weiwei’s practice. Posted to his blog starting in 1995, the photographs are taken in the style of innocent tourist snapshots, emphasizing the disconnect between man and political power and urging the viewer to question propagandist ideas.
The photos, including that of Tiananmen Square, remain banned in China. Their creator however, is evidently not stopping anytime soon, continuing his impact from multiple bases around the world.
These Ai Weiwei time-limited edition skatedecks are available until 3pm (GMT) on December 12th from THE SKATEROOM.
