Two Lines│双杠线

by Chongyan LIU

7 mins│France, China│2021

Installation from VISIO 10th edition European Program of Moving Images
in conjunction with the 14th Lo Schermo dell'Arte – Cinema and Contemporary Art Festival, Florence

Chongyan Liu documents a night journey from inside her boyfriend's car. The static camera records the ever-changing road ahead – illuminated only by the headlights. We see the pouring rain hit against the bonnet whilst the various sounds of the journey intersperse with ruminations on her first abortion. In a stream of consciousness, Chongyan retraces the physical and mental anguish and sheds some light on her internal thought processes before and after the operation.
