In this film I use tools and techniques from traditional Chinese painting. It is not my intention to create an atmosphere of retro nostalgia, but only to think about the relationship between people and the painting tools when experiencing the painting of the ancients. The light coloured ink blocks produce a bright impression on the rice paper. It is vaguely figurative, so one needs to engage one's imagination in the experience of viewing.

Xiang Jun | 湘君


This film is based on an ancient Chinese poem. It is about a couple of immortals who have been apart for a long time and cannot meet each other. In this film, I try to use an implicit narrative method, narrating through the dialogue between image and the sound. There is no character's dialogue or character's actions here. All the words and emotions are contained in the intuitive feelings brought about by the images and sounds.

这部动画是根据屈原《九歌》诗集中的《湘君》所改编。在这部影片中,我尝试使用隐性叙事方法,通过图像和声音之间的对话进行叙述。这里没有人物的对话,也没有人物的行动。所有的语言和情感都包含在图像和声音带来的直观感受中。
