"10 moments" is an experimental fiction-nonfiction hybrid visual audio work,and is the first part of an installation work "sounds of buildings" created in Beijing China 2010-2011. Currently China is at a historic moment as the country claims its capitalist global power with an awakening of a new nationalistic identity at an incredible pace. 10 moments' compositions are using limited space inspired not only from the traditional triptych and diptych but also from the Mogao Cave in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. all the moments capture the profound clash between the old and new, furthermore the temporal montage creates a capricious shift. "10 moments" presents a contrasting picture with the calm moments of the everyday life in Beijing and investigates the current moods and vibrations in today’s urban China, providing a valuable artistic record of an epic moment in China’s history.
