Duilian. Wu Tsang. HD color video with sound, installation view. 2016.

Recently announced as one of the 2018 MacArthur Fellows, Wu Tsang is an award-winning filmmaker and performance artist who creates works that deal with issues of gender, sexuality, and hybridity. Tsang is widely recognized for “creating new conceptual and visual vocabularies for exploring hidden histories and marginalized narratives in works that collapse the boundaries between documentary and fiction.”

Duilian is a film inspired by the historial figure and late 19th-century revolutionary poet and feminist Qiu Jin (秋瑾). Tsang reinterprets tales of Qiu Jin and her alleged lover, calligrapher Wu Zhiying in modern day Hong Kong in a film amalgamation of documentary and kung fu genre. The work’s title refers to both traditional couplet poetry and a dueling category in wushu martial arts. According to Arthub, “Duilian decodes and deliberately ‘mistranslates’ official narratives about Qiu Jin, as a way to question the role that language and storytelling play in the construction of history.”

Congratulations to Tsang on her achievement with the MacArthur Foundation!
