Matte Substance displaces spatial experience through means of reproducing construction infrastructure materials. The pieces attempt to preserve an instant of silent encounter between the components of daily life and urban structures.
Zhang Ruyi draw on materials and objects from daily life, referencing their simultaneous strength and vulnerability in the face of a changing environment.

In her work, ZHANG Ruyi offers a coherent cluster of experiences and mixed feelings about crossing and in-betweeness. She conducts a clinical analysis of architecture, sculpture, and site in the city for the preparation of specimen by industrial materials, commencing on the anatomy of public space. For this reason, she abstracts the geometric construction and rhythmic utterance from within, meanwhile seizing the skin features of specific objects to satisfy the need of ornament. Ornament is not primarily something by itself that is later applied to something else but belongs to self-presentation.
