When Argentine artist Leandro Erlich's solo exhibition The Confines of the Great Void came to the art museum of Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in the summer of 2019, it took the city by storm by attracting more than 160,000 visitors in 45 days.

The mind-blogging, widely-acclaimed show will open at the Sea World Culture and Art Center in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on July 31.

Born to an architect family, Erlich is an architect of space, illusions and the uncertain. His works are full of imaginations and produce deceptive experiences, thereafter becoming hotspots for people to have fun and take photos. Meanwhile, Erlich engages the audience in reflections upon the real and unreal.
