Is ‘pǔ luó saì sī’ a destination? A person? An archive of a moving body? An avatar of a place? This process is like a serial drama about moving and experimenting. It is an echo, a march, where the body travels across different cultures and where different cultures flow through.
Starting from the experiences of an individual, this piece explores how the personal experiences are transformed into creative elements. A new space is constructed by combining continuous two-dimensional images and body movement — when it is immersed in the present moment, it also comprises new imagination.
