Profile picture of shubo wang

Shubo Wang is a visual artist based in Hangzhou and Shanghai, working across film and photography. Her practice focuses on themes of feminism and the body, using moving images as a medium to explore the relationship between individual experience and emotional structures. Through experimental moving image works, she transforms personal perception, bodily awareness, and social issues into a visual process of critical reflection.

Her works are characterized by a rational and restrained visual language. Rather than pursuing linear or complete narratives, she reveals the latent structures of consciousness and emotional tension that reside within the image through moments of emotional fluctuation and rhythmic discontinuity. She is particularly interested in the image as both an extension of the body and a manifestation of consciousness, seeking to establish a fluid and affective dialogue between the viewer and the viewed, the subject and the other.

This film is my conversation with time, emerging from fragments of childhood, faces that have disappeared. Fragments of time through sound and silence. There is no beginning, no ending. What remains when everything dissolves?

We do not always feel time passing. Death is a precipice. Over the past few years, several of my family members have died. The time that could have been spent with loved ones was gone. Memories of childhood gatherings grew hazy. What caused this? Was it merely the passage of time, or was the inevitable fading of memory in the banality of everyday life?
