A momentary poem made from inner objects, a dream crawling out of a house deep in the forest, and countless insect lights coming up from the ground, this program floats and sinks in luminous mysteries. These mysteries will only be revealed quietly when a beam of light from the projector hits the screen in the dark. A film, a poem, a writer, a secret. (c.h.l.)
These pieces hold a certain enigmatic quality, captivating us with abstract imagery that shimmers with seductive glamor. Their opaque and ambiguous nature prompts us to contemplate the meaning behind their intricacies. (S.Y.)
Artists in attendance include Charlotte Pryce, Julia Sáenz Lorduy, Xiao Zhang, and Yanbin Zhao.
