When the two first met, Doyle visited Zhang at his studio, and he was surprised at how neat the place was, as well as his taste in fine cigars and wines. It was quite different from the workspace where Doyle created his collage on paper, Doyle says during a media event for the exhibition. He says Zhang's ways of dealing with space as an art subject impressed him.

Cutting pictures off magazines to make the paper collage was a leisure activity for Doyle during his busy filming schedules, he adds.

For one of his exhibition videos, Doyle shot Shanghai landmarks such as the City God temple.

Most of his video pieces - made through different periods of his career - include digitally processed landscapes of China, Australia and other places he has lived, as well as scenes from movies he shot.

Quadrio says he hopes the Shanghai exhibition is a starting point. He would like to take the show to other cities in the future.
