Who is Hui’an Woman? (Artwork Two)

Uncategorized

The film integrates telling, recording, bibliographic analysis, interviews, and abstract images, which will connect the gaps between political discourse, academic research, and research subjects, thereby constructing a discourse space that transition between the “real” and “unreal”, the rational and emotional. 

Part one: According to the Chinese national political and economic needs in different periods time, Huidong women were defined as different images. As fisherwomen living by the sea, I use sound to construct an abstract blue image by coding programming, which is like the surging sea and the passing time. The image of Hui’an women gradually appeared in the process of telling their history in the sea, clear but blurred.

Part two: This work is presented in the form of dual-channel video, in order to show the “Hui’an Woman” I saw from the first perspective and the third perspective at the same time. The left shows the status and image of local women in everyday life from the first perspective, and the right shows the image of “Hui’an Woman” in the perspective of different people through interviews with different people. In order to express the subjective image of Huidong women being constructed and squeezed in contemporary society.

Part three: The third part of the film is to see Huidong women. It is no longer an image constructed by anyone, they communicate directly with the outside world through Nanyin music. The left side of the video uses slow motion to focus on the subtle expressions of local women, whether they are happy or busy. The right part is the part local female groups who are eager to communicate with the outside world. Qiong hopes to sing “Qingliang” to express her own emotions at the moment. I hope she can perform with her back against the sea. Finally, through communication, Qiong invited two friends to take a video of their performances on their mobile phones and send it to me. They specially wore appropriate clothes, and chose half of the sea and half of the city as the background. I did not make any relevant requirements. This film was created by me and the locals.
