Gao Shiqiang: The Other There

Since the mid-1990s, Gao Shiqiang has been at the forefront of video art and film making in China. He has increasingly turned to film in order to explore subjects ranging from ancient folklore ("Butterfly Lovers") and recollections of the Communist era ("Red") to more anthropological concerns, as in "Faint with Oxygen." At 350 pages, "The Other There" is the definitive book on his work to date.
