Shan Yixin, By the Sea

Shang Yixin uses light and shadow to construct a series of visual realms, looking for a subtle balance between the sensory and the emotional. In "By the Sea," changes of light source lead the viewer to a pure and novel recognition of space and movement, and yet certain strange, dangerous elements are hidden in this gradual hypnosis.
