Xíng

Xíng is an experimental film project rooted in dance, aiming to challenge Western celestial politics by exploring the ancient Chinese I Ching. While Western languages attribute planetary names to Roman/Greek mythology, the film delves into the Eastern practice of associating planets with the five stages of the I Ching: Wood Star (Jupiter), Fire Star (Mars), Soil Star (Saturn), Metal Star (Venus), Water Star (Mercury). These names trace back to ancient China, where I Ching's Five Elements were employed as a medium for understanding phenomena. The artistic focus lies in illustrating distinctions between Chinese and Western linguistics. Xíng, as a film project, conducts a sustainable exploration of the Western naming convention for the solar system's five planets, reflecting on the evolution of civilizations and their philosophical foundations. Rooted in the contrast between Eastern identity and affiliation with Western society, the film utilizes video language to reinterpret the connection between the I Ching's five elements and the five planets in a contemporary context, exploring the exchange and misunderstanding inherent in diverse cultures.
