Reflection Paper No.2

2013 - Film & Video (Film & Video)

Wang Taocheng


Reflection Paper No. 2 is one of four videos in which Wang attempts to accurately illustrate the writings of influential Chinese Eileen Chang, who published her works during the Japanese occupation of China. Image and text reflect on the everyday experiences of women in society, family, marriage, love, and death. As a voiceover unsuccessfully labors to match and explain each scene, the relationship between the text and the images becomes uncertain. Wang explains: “Reality is often inappropriate.”


Wang Taocheng is a Shanghai artist who lives and works in Amsterdam. She creates layered narrative artworks in painting, drawing, video, film, and installation. She studied Chinese traditional art in China and continued her education at the Stadelschule in Frankfurt (2012) and De Ateliers (2014) in Amsterdam.
