After a recapitulation of the notions of \u2018\u2018East\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2018West\u2019\u2019 in the work of Edward Said and the kind of problems they have generated in the evaluation of art in Hong Kong (illustrated with some examples of two kinds of artwork using concepts and visuals from Euro-America and China), the process of hybridization is then presented as the way in which a culture will transform into something new. The question is therefore to establish what can be called a hybrid. To put it simply, one calls \u2018\u2018hybrid\u2019\u2019 in the cultural realm something that does not yet look \u2018\u2018native.\u2019\u2019 For instance, in present-day China what was still considered to be a hybrid in the arts not so long ago is often identified as more Chinese than \u2018\u2018Western\u2019\u2019 today. A cultural element only stays a hybrid as long as it is seen as such, but its visibility is subject to change. This begs another question: what are the conditions of the visibility of hybridity and through what process does it go before being identified as something \u2018\u2018native\u2019\u2019? Hybridity is in reality\u00a0a very unstable characteristic, and its presence depends very much on who is looking and how; it is a question of cultural representation and, as a result, cannot be inherent in the object itself. This non-essentialist view of hybridization in the visual arts, presenting itself in the shape of the Deleuzian rhizome, may shed a different light on questions related to differences and similarities between cultures.<\/p>\n
