Her photos of an abandoned house in Rome are like oil paintings.

Paris says she is very interested in photographing abandoned houses. So, Wong invited her to visit China to take pictures after he acquired some of her work recently.

"Wong is the first from Asia to buy my works," says Paris, adding that she plans to visit China again to do work here because she was told about many abandoned houses here.

Hegyi, the show's curator, says Wong is obsessed with Italian art and he knows a lot about the history, architecture and culture of the country.

"This show embodies Wong's tastes, convictions and views of beauty," he says.
