Description

Using geographical inquiries on the diasporas of the Hakka people (in China, South Korea, the United States and Spain), artist Zhou Tao outlines a fascinating post-world of the present day. With excellent visuals and sound, he tackles the monumentality of the landscape and the strangely-behaving beings that inhabit it, wrapped in the architecture, fauna and machines of this surreal planet.

Biography of the director

The Worldly Cave

Zhou Tao
Born in 1976 in China, he is a Guangzhou-based artist trained in oil painting and mixed media. Since 2003, Zhou has primarily worked in video, drawing and photography. The visual narratives in his works often combine different spatial constructs, such as industrial landscapes, urban centres, constructions sites, parks, public squares and wastelands. Zhou’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; and Museu d’Art Contemporani, Barcelona, among others. His 2017 work The Worldly Cave (Fán Dòng) was presented at the 57th Venice Biennale.
