‘Shan-Shui-Hua’
‘Shan-Shui-Hua’ is a single screen video installation. Proceeding from Chinese thought and aesthetics the traditional concept of landscape painting ‘Shan-Shui-Hua’  is recreated as a video-painting. It is a meditative art piece reflecting the Western mountaineers fight against and exploitation of nature ascending and descending the highest peaks counterpointing the Chinese attempt of spiritual harmony. It uses the figure of the Western mountaineer equipped with special tools and protective clothing to vanquish the highest peaks in order to conquer nature rather than searching for harmonious existence, thus counterpointing Eastern and Western ideals.
