The Crack 2002 (8)

CIFA (the Chinese Independent Film Archive) has recently helped restore The Crack, a low-budget independent film made on 35mm, which has been screened only four times to a small circle in China since its completion in 2000. This semi-autobiographical film, set during the Cultural Revolution, provides the missing link between the roots-seeking and scar literature and art of the 1980s and the performance art of the 1990s and 2000s. It grounds many of the embodied extremes of China’s famous performance art in the persistent psychosexual fetishes and neuroses produced by the extreme denial of individual desire under “mass line” socialism.

Air Inflationism 2024

The ubiquitous loudspeakers, television propaganda and slogans in towns and villages are constantly instilling the will of the powers that be and the alienation of thinking in the minds of the people. Men, women, and children of all ages are trapped in a huge brainwasher-like airbag promoted by propagandists, and they roll forward and backward.
