WangShui

The WangShui studio’s film installations and biomorphic sculptures inhabit a slowbuilding, cinematic ecosystem where protracted metamorphoses and maturations are metaphors for the gradual evolution of identity. WangShui’s works reference urban theory, feng shui, zoology, and ancient mythologies as foundations for supernatural narratives that imagine a world of existence unencumbered by rigid expectations of fixed identity. Whether through experiential interventions in exhibition architectures or the slow arc of a drone camera, dramatically prolonged — and sometimes unrealized — shifts in perspective entice and then frustrate viewers’ desires to witness or participate in processes of transformation, suggestively denying audiences an ultimate release from reality.
