The Wheel of Time
The singing voice of an eastern poet fuses into the gears of the Swiss sculptor Charles Morgan, as is fully displaying a philosophical attitude towards the ungraspable flowing emptiness.

When I walked into the exhibition hall of the sculptor Charles Morgan, I was immediately attracted by his wonderful works. All the tiny gears and all kinds of wild imagination made me feel like entering the brain of a writer who is creating fairy tales. I had ever seen his works in a jazz cafe at Montreux airport. But I have never expected to see his small dynamic works. My mind immediately went back to China. The musician Huanqing in Sichuan must be able to produce wonderful music once he saw those amazing works. They must be able to arouse kind of ancient rhyme out of the depth of this Chinese man. I talked to the sculptor and he happily agreed, so that I sent the videos of the exhibition to Huanqing. He is a bardic man, sometimes wandering in Dali, Yunnan, and now in Lijiang. His lonely heart talks directly to the universe. After waiting for several months, I finally get the poetry and music about time. How exciting it was to see the Eastern ideas gearing into the Western art and the two fulfilling an incredible fusion. As is my passion for the first video record.
