Sun Xun is one of China’s most talented and ambitious young artists. He experiments with drawings, traditional ink paintings and woodcuts, and then uses new technologies to transform them into his artistic trademark - black and white animations. Born in 1980 in Fuxin, his works often explore and question what is known about Chinese history. In 2006 he founded his own animation studio called Pi and produces large amounts of work each year. In just under 10 years, Sun Xun has held over 30 solo exhibitions, most notably at the Hayward Gallery in London, and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. He has also shown his films at more than 150 film festivals worldwide, including the 8th Seoul International Film Festival and the 25th Torino Film Festival.

I worked as his interpreter a few years back when he was staying in The Netherlands as an artist in residence, really nice guy, extremely passionate about art and history. I remember how his eyes lit up when I told him you could get soy sauce in Dutch supermarkets too XD

Quite a blessing to have parents whom support ones life purpose, so often I hear of people who were not supported to take a career in the arts and many people in our society don't always recognise the significance of the arts. However art references humanity's evolution especially in the historical context. To a point... we're able to decipher the psychologies of the people past and present, certainly his work plays a significant role in Singapore's history, well in my opinion it does. It's good to question political systems, all systems to that point, interesting! Sun Xuns work is incredibly beautiful 😊

I love these videos, but the subtitles bother me. They're changed pretty often from what he's actually saying and it sometimes changes the meaning. I understand that his English isn't perfect, and adding occasional small grammatical changes for clarity would be ok, but there's no reason to change "past news" to "old newspapers", "changed" to "influenced", or "art was not the real end" to "art was not the end goal", other than the transcriptionist just thinks they know a better way to say what he's saying.

I appreciate what they've done. Sometimes he's not using the right words to express what he's trying to say and the transcriptionist did a great job to bridge that communication. Think of it from a deaf person's perspective. Transcribing what he said literally can kill that communication.
@lg4944
@lg4944 6 років тому
@Vongdarakia I understand what you're saying and I agree, but I think to use the word "kill" is a bit much.

A bi-lingual person often literally translates words and thoughts from his native language. So, given the context, the choice of his English words might not be the correct one and will leave the viewers confused. I think they had a Chinese interpreter with them who clarified some of the words which would help the translation in the end. Maybe, for e.g. he really meant to say old newspapers and not past news. If you knew Chinese people who are not fluent at English, their choice of English words is very similar to his.

I love how artists may influence each other across all media: for instance, Sun Xun created an island on the back of a whale and truth was the significance. In music, Harry Styles created a whale shaped island where he learnt the truth of himself and his lover ( Eroda). He featured it in a music video called Adore You ( Eroda = Adore). I wonder if Harry Styles was influenced by Sun Xun? How exquisite that would be!

How come there's people critiqueing his art but not elaborating on it? It sounds like cowards who don't know what he's doing, see something political (art always had to be international right?), and are jealous of the attention. Be honest with yourself. You haven't given him a chance. This is exactly what he's talking about. You accept one type of art and opinion, but not his. All art is just one part of the truth, as shown from one person's perspective. It's not his fault his subject matter draws more attention.

Glad that Xun’s dad didn’t stop him from pursuing the true art in his heart. But his dad was wrong about one thing, being an artist cannot avoid talking about politics, especially in a country like China where histories were recreated. I like Xun’s idea to be a world citizen and only to represent himself rather than his country. Please keep being independent and delivering your own thoughts (uncensored).
