Mau Chi is an artist whose work explores the complex relationship between quantum physics and Japanese aesthetics. His art delves into the layers of meaning that arise through perception, inspired by principles such as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Schrödinger's superposition, and Japanese concepts like yugen and wabi-sabi.

 

Mau Chi’s work plays with light and shadow, shifting between form and formlessness, and embracing impermanence and imperfection, reflecting both the quantum nature of reality and Zen insights into the transient beauty of the world. His photography captures the ongoing dance between the defined and the undefined, presence and absence, inviting the viewer to contemplate the mystery that lies beyond our direct perception. Mau Chi’s residency at Spazio Nour offers a space to develop Shadow from Light, an artist’s book combining black and white photography with haiku poetry, merging Eastern and Western aesthetics.
