Tim Yip is best known for his work on the acclaimed film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for which he won an Oscar for art direction and a BAFTA for costume design. However, he's much more than just an art director and costume designer. The artist also works widely in contemporary art, theater and other creative fields. Now his solo exhibition, "Tim Yip: Mirror", is on display at Beijing's Today Art Museum. Take a look.

The exhibition offers us a comprehensive reflection on Tim Yip's artistic journey over recent years and reveals his unique understanding of the future.

Active in a wide range of artistic disciplines such as film production, costume design, visual arts and scenic design, he continues to explore the concept of the "New Orientalism" aesthetic by breaking the boundaries of multiple art forms like photography, video, sculpture and installation.

Co-curator Mark Holborn boasts a portfolio of leading artists including Annie Leibovitz and Issey Miyake. "Mirror" is his sixth collaboration with Yip.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is the "Suspended City" which includes a floating cityscape and a giant "Lili". The wigged mannequin is Yip's current muse, and has been seen in several of his works.

TIM YIP ARTIST "The purpose of this work is to produce encounters. No matter whatever time and space we inhabit, there will always be new things we do not understand. They can appear at any time. We can regard them like an alien visitor or a messenger from void, the magic of these encounters allows us to reflect on the enigma of existence, the reason for existence, and the cause of existence."

This exhibition marks Tim Yip's engagement with science and technology for the first time and displays his meditations on time, space and life sciences.

By demonstrating the core idea of "Spiritual DNA", an invisible binding force that links us all, the artist attempts to discuss the germination and inheritance of human feelings and memories.

The exhibition will be open for three months till July 21.
