    Heroes | 2017

An experimental documentary portrait follows Eda, a laborer in a tire factory and a passionate martial artist and Chinese culture enthusiast. This amateur author of the so-called wuxia genre – short fantasy lyrics, including stories about kung-fu masters – is being asked to write a story about Chinese feminist and revolutionary Qiu Jin. The characteristics of the protagonist are plotted through his writing and confrontation with the historical figure. The two-channel projection is synchronized and linked by a shared sound in the installation. Double-sided canvas is intended for circumvention, with each side offering a different image composition. http://artycok.tv/39086/heroes
