HU Jieming Synchrony
Hu Jieming’s <Synchrony>(2016) is a video work which borrows the method of shooting large-scale photography. It is a work that filmed a large group of people who travel beyond space and time. The identity of the people in the large-scale photographs unfolds in mixed spaces and times. A variety of scenes that change contain all sorts of narratives. The subjects of the film were taken from photographs of the distant past. Starting from the artist’s friends to historical figures from a different time period, the range of the people in the photographs is very extensive. Using special effects, Hu Jieming writes new stories by giving movements to the faces of each of the figures in the photograph. People in the photographs who came from different spaces and times have different physical characteristics. By compiling them together via single space and time, the artist seeks to express mixed-race identity and each of the different journeys of life. |
