9+1 Films from Austria, 37 Chinese independent Films

During 9 days of Festival, 37 films were shown at 3 different locations in Beijing. The Austrian selection was screened at Trainspotting Culture Salon (the organizer of the Film Festival) and at CNEX (a non profit foundation, dedicated to the production and promotion of Chinese documentaries).

My artistic involvement with the  famous „Dao de jing“ by Laozi began in 2001, in preparation for my first visit to China.
Every day over the course of four years I transcribed a phrase of this basis text of Chinese heritage – reproducing it sentence by sentence both in its original lettering as well as in two German translations.
 

The sketches for an installation, which is not yet carried out, base upon an already tired and half-observing visit of the Confucius Temple in Beijing.
