A time remnant inhabits a personal space with a secret, private, unspoken word of one’s being. Sliding planes of window and time, throwing drifts of the inner and the outer self, the film seeks in the interval of memory for a transitory reunion with my family.

Portrait of ZHANG Xiao

ZHANG Xiao is a moving image artist whose works centre on personal poetics derived from cross-generational memory, body politics, and mythological materials. Through a variety of forms including experimental film, video installation, photography, and mixed media, her works explore how images are connected through time and presented in space, addressing fundamentally sculptural concerns. Zhang employs techniques using celluloid film, projection optic, photographic chemicals, and motorized machinery to manipulate, modify, and reinterpret the tools of cinema—image, sound, and space.
