3. Chen Chen (NZ/China) - Towards a Late Evening I & II

These two film poems by Chen Chen reflect a cross-cultural contextualization of research into film poetry as a genre. Taking place within a gap between Chinese and Western cultural framings of short film-poems, these films are formed using Xiang (a philosophical and aesthetic system adapted from Tang dynasty Chinese poetry) as a methodological approach and visual strategy to create the essence of Menglong (the amorphous).

The films show a delicate restraint of interiors and exteriors, while the system of Xiang is also from a distinctly Chinese perspective. As part of her PhD research, Chen states "...different Xiangs may not have direct logical relations with each other in one work, but may contribute to the emotional flow of one feeling to another throughout the complete poetic text."

These films with their subjectivities embody a visual and thematic connection through disconnection and a resulting amorphous, changeable form.

11. Qiang Chen (China) - Multiple Dreams

Since 2010, I have found that I have some problems with my breathing. I can't sleep deeply, especially in winter. I will do a lot of strange dreams. These dreams are especially true in my dreams. Later I found that I have been in Chengdu for too long. I have got chronic pharyngitis. Environmental problems lead to the disease of my body, sleep begins to snoring and gradually worsens, the doctor said that this is the phenomenon of people in the city!

I made these dreams into various works! Some are images, some are installations, and others are written as literary works. No matter how these dreams are complementary to my space!

"The Old Man Recalls Poetic Life"

This is a long dream in the dream of dreaming. The father who dreams of getting sick walks his mind in the middle of a human sculpture and recalls the past of his life. Dreams, sometimes some sad spectators, and these sad feelings will wake up after awakening.
