In the narrow calli of Venice, an avatar races on a red vehicle, Buddha holds the wheel of life, all while a melodic blend of hip-hop, piano, and traditional music fills the air. Unveiled alongside La Biennale di Venezia, Louis Vuitton presents DOKU The Illusion, an immersive exhibition by Chinese artist Lu Yang.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Espaces Louis Vuitton and the 10th anniversary of the Foundation Louis Vuitton's Hors-les-murs programme, DOKU The Illusion is another step in the Fondation’s mission to highlight contemporary art for a global audience.
Yang, notable for his AI-generated videos, sculptures, and multimedia installations, presents the fourth chapter in his DOKU series. Displayed on LED screens, the new film features a digital avatar based on the artist's own face, embarking on solitary adventures that transcend human physical abilities, unleashing a new form of freedom through digital reincarnation.
