8.08.08 China Nights
Today, probably around 8 pm Beijing time, I went to the Whitechapel Laboratory (Gallery) in London, to view a rather marvellous
video work by Chinese artist Wang Jianwei. The Symptom is a series of tableaux that represent and depict elements and aspects
of contemporary and traditional China, shot darkly, conjuring up images of nighttime and the separation of the individual
from the collective. Those moments when the actors attempt to hold and pass the writhing fish enter forever into my visual
memory. http://www.wangjianwei.com/
