Projektinfo

The chromatic books have enamored me at an early age. My father was an editor-publisher in Jiangxi province, China, adept in printmaking and artistic calligraphy in particular. Those 1980s characteristic illustrated prints inspired him to clip, edit, layout, and optimally realized in various cover design; thereby also incubated my passion for books with exquisite handicraft quality and a constant reference in my own practices, such as early Chinese science fiction and the Bauhaus illustrations.

Also, to maintain this creative streak of my animated films, I have been consciously building a database through collecting, scanning and categorizing pre-1980 books, mostly out of print, from online or second-hand books stores around China.

I am hoping to take up this residency for further exposure to the world second-hand book design, and would gladly introduce my collections to Vienna for broader collaborative opportunities. Regarding the final exhibition, a stereoscopic thought process shall be traced and realized in different formats like reading notes archiving, wall painting and screening, etcetera. Books enable me to reinterpret and express my sensitivity, and more importantly, to mediate possibilities for better exchanging and discovering cultural specialties.
