Data Brothers, Sun lamp and Ethnic Minorities behind Landscape

“Yelang Writes Back”group exhibition at Baopu FELT / Guizhou, China / 2025
ICA London X Conditions event / London, UK / 2024

The documentary emerged from field research in Guizhou exploring the energy infrastructure in the deep mountains of Southwest China as well as lives of ethnic minorities interweaving between live stream and reality. From oral history of village elders to the ethnic landscape shaped by urbanization and modernity, the film reveals a mutual imagine between global and local that integrate in daily appearance. The film is a visual ethnography of Southwest China and also the artist’s travelogue as tourist returning to the hometown.
