The exhibition is segregated in terms of spatial relationships, to make the work of three independent yet conveying dialogue travels across space. Viewers will gradually be pulled into Fang Lu’s works that stems from reality but ambiguous by state. It differs from her previous work in that these projects initiated in a narrative context. In the eyes of the artist, confession of love and restrain of bodily actions, are the key attitude and portrayal on how one participate in the world. Thus, the title of the exhibition “True Sense” suggests that, these attitudes are based on personalintuition, and direct experience.
In films “The Secret of Supermoon” and “Sea of Silence,” the artist chooses to reflect one of the most complex issues of relationship- love, through meticulous yet paranoiac language to create multiple parallel or interlaced love events. All of the dialogue and plot are written at a personal level, as it originates from the artist’s chat with these women when working on the projects. In terms of location of the two works, the narrative background were each set in an enclosed space with Sovietstyle interior and a solitary desert, which is untamed and yet free. Female confides to the camera, is a form by which Fang organizes “event”. The meticulous detail depicted by personal language, slowdown and enlarge the actual time and space from the reality.
In the work of “No World“, the artist fictionalizes a type of collective living that is based on radical actions and self-training. The video is about six youth living in an empty building. Everyday they repeat violence and yet game-like, unconflicted activities. In our everyday life, the experience of political conflict is so remote from self-experience; Individual experience is slowly deprived by excessive “information”. The mode of action and behavior in this film is a reflection on the mediated imagery reality that we all live in.
