Shikoukairo II: Patterns of Thought
HUA XI ZI ARTIST TALK
Live from Hairpin Arts Center

Hua Xi Zi works and thinks about light and the experience of seeing – in exploring the flowing life and one’s relation with outside systems. From celluloid film, analogue video signal to digital video processing, screen-based and optical projections, installed and performed, Xi Zi questions the existing methods of shadow-image production by experimenting alternative ways to “un-expose.” Her practice and research turned into the materiality while asking questions about spectatorship and participation – seeking for the tenderness that withholds freedom and forgiveness. Join Xi Zi’s artist talk on Thursday at 6pm CST as she explores her broader filmmaking and installation practice featured prominently at SHIKOUKAIRO II.
