MLitt Fine Art Practice

Chuan Du (she/her)
I am enjoying creating connections without clear intentions;
nature and creatures are of my interest.
I am more into audiovisual art, exploring the possibilities of narrative without words.
concepts absorbed from the philosophical field have always been incomplete, yet I recently became interested in post-humanism.
If any verbal thing is clear, the words likely confuse the viewer’s perception of the work.

[post_content] => Rooted in local folk culture and collective memories, this project draws on them to make a saturated sense of familiarity and intimacy. It tells a tale anew, approaching openings for human beings to bond with other beings and nature.

![[…] The exhibition installation is a recreation of a folk tale in the Highlands. It consists of a metal pool and a sound film, which is made up of three parts. The pool symbolizes the lochs, surrounded by hay. The movie projected in the pool shows the lives of mythical creatures - Kelpies. They wander around their home in a circle, constantly changing their skin colour to suit their environment. Bubble skins are shedding. One of them is jumping. How can they openly and fearlessly show us their private lives?](https://gsapostgradshowcase-2023.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/16190726/exhibition1-1536x1024.jpg)
