Wu Xiaoran

Wu Xiaoran is mainly interested in the relationship between unofficial narratives and moving images. Unofficial narratives contain folklore stories, ballads, myths, legends, etc., and use these as a starting point to explore different histories, attempt to relate to contemporary contexts, and find plural meanings from stories that are iteratively being retold. From years of still photography to the moving image practice today, he is more concerned about the impact of time on the image, trying to let the viewers experience fragmentation and cycle of time through works, not just the mechanized fixed timeline. By this way, and the old stories are retold with new narratives.
