About the director
Wang Tuo
Wang Tuo is an artist born in 1984 in Changchun, China. His work interweaves Chinese historical facts, cultural archives, fiction and mythology into speculative narratives. Equating his practice to novel writing, he stages an intervention in historical literary texts and cultural archives to formulate stories that blur the boundaries of time and space, facts and imagination. Through film, performance, painting, and drawing, his work is a powerful examination of modern Chinese and East Asian history.
