Shanghart Gallery is pleased to announce ‘His Story - Sun Xun solo exhibition’ in H Space. The extraordinary exhibition presents the artist’s animation works in its entirety: from his premier early works up until his newest creations, thereby narrating the history of the films’ development.
Sun Xun and all his ten animation works construct yet another history that run parallel to the chronology of actual ‘historic’ time. In these animated ‘histories’, the magician, the king and the pendulum all play symbolic crucial rules. The noir images emphasize the other side of the truth of the history. Xun works with drawing to explore the analogous relationship between the moving image and the recurrent cycling of history; in particular, China’s ongoing cultural, artistic, and political evolution.
