SAPPUKEI 殺風景
Directed by Hikky Chen & Chun WangTaiwan · 2022 · 18'00
Hikky Chen established the art collective Ghost Mountain Ghost Shovel in 2008. Their live performances bring together varied elements including improvisation, gymnastics, installation, historical reenactment, experimental sound, and more.Chen has studied dance and costume design, and through her practice reflects on the relationship between the body and the visual. Wang Chun is a film producer. His practice is based on transformations between different creative languages (those of image, text, sound, and body), searching for the limits of language and seeking to measure the distance in the act of viewing. His work emphasizes the process of conscious perception, reflecting on the polarity of existence as it moves from one unbalanced system of coordinates to another, in which every gesture, every action, every landscape is a drama and also a film. SAPPUKEI (2022) is his first short film.
