During October/November 2014 Mascha Mioni was artist in residence at the JinZe Arts Center, Shanghai, and displayed there her new creations in an exhibition Mascha Mioni spent more than two months in China and incorporated the manyfold impressions in a variety of ways in her work.
The discarded rice straw, that she found lying in the yard, was recycled into an eleven yards long ladder "Purpose of Life". The calligraphy lessons led to thirty paintings "Ink on Paper". With the red seal-ink she bought on the antique-/flea-market she 'signed' close to 5000 fingerprints on paper. The image of the cotton-pickers in the vast fields of Xinjiang and the raw cotton balls found in the nearby village, together with the old bricks lying around from the reconstruction work, resulted in the installation "20 Pyramids"; and the soot-blackened cotton cloth of the cook inspired to "Phoenix from the Ashes".
