Cheng Ran – The Lament: Mountain Ghost

For an art experience that transcends borders of time and space, delve in the world of Chinese artist Cheng Ran. The solo exhibition showcases a variety of video works, as well as the artist's body of mixed-media installations that are inspired by western popular culture and literature. The first video installment of the Lament: Mountain Ghost draws inspiration from the ghostly imagery present in Qu Yuan's poem and features a man moving slowly as if performing a ritual. Through the mysterious ritualistic dance, the artist also presents his attitude towards a fast-changing city and the dilemma between ideals and reality.
