Private Project

Society: Acts I - IV

Our film was produced in collaboration with emerging artist Ming Ying. Ming's paintings are inspired by the Buddhist concept of impermanence and the alienation she encountered upon moving from China to London. Our film is an exploration into Ming's imagination, using dreamlike recreations of the scenes in her paintings to make the unreal real.
