With her continuing project, 'New Buildings for China' (2007-2009), Framis reflects upon her experiences with respressive, unstable social relationships in China. For a country whose cultural roots have been cut off, which copies and mixes up every sort of style, the artist calls for a kind of architecture that will rise to the challenges presented by social, cultural, and economic changes. She designs prototypes of buildings out of wood, plaster, polyester, and metal, and than exhibits them as computer generated 3D drawings and models. Using ordinary objects such as rice bowls, microphones, pill boxes, ect., she constructs fantastic buildings and monuments whose transparent walls, rooms, and open structures illustrate the control exercised by the system, the isolation of people, or the country's restrictive family policies.
