2020年以来，新冠疫情席卷全球，人们的生活经历了诸多变化。Asymmetry艺术基金会在此背景下，以中国当代艺术为主题，聚焦不同代际的海内外中国当代艺术家，以他们的实践为核心，通过独特的叙事手法，折射中国从改革开放到资本全球化时代的变迁。

疫情带来的冲击，正如1980年代以来的每一次变革，乘着历史的快车，将每一个体命运裹挟其中。中国从改革开放，到1990年代市场经济的快速发展，以至2008年后全球化时代的全面到来，直至如今的后疫情时代——在变化莫测的洪流中，艺术家总是时代中身体力行的反叛者，也是体察至深的观察者。

本纪录片遵循中国当代艺术萌芽至今的时间线，从来自中国大陆、中国香港和海外华人艺术家的个体经历切入，围绕他们及其所属的艺术团体在社会浪潮中的艺术实践，折射出过去数十年中国当代社会在现代化进程中的历史变革。

本片由艺术家/纪录片导演杨圆圆担任导演，策展人董冰峰、策展人李佳桓Alvin Li担任影片内容顾问，带领海内外优秀纪录片制作团队拍摄制作，为中国当代艺术记录珍贵影像资料。

A feature length documentary project sponsored by Asymmetry Art Foundation that is centred around the experiences of different generations of Greater Chinese and Sinophone artists and their artistic practices amidst waves of social change, to explore and reflect on the contextualisation of contemporary Chinese society and culture in the past 40 years.

The film is being directed by artist and filmmaker Luka Yuanyuan Yang and her team. Bingfeng Dong is serving as Head of Research, with Alvin Li contributing as Advisor.

SYNOPSIS

The idea of the documentary emerged at the very beginning of the pandemic. When profound changes were brought on to societies across the globe, including the arts and culture sector, we identified an urgent need and agency to document this potentially historical turn with its effects and ramifications. During current shifts within the global stratification, China – which has adopted increasingly strict lockdown policies and border closures – stands like an isolated island, gradually drifting further away from the globalised world. Individuals who identify to any extend with Greater Chinese and Sinophone heritage and culture can feel impacts of these changes, whether based in the region or internationally, due to a shared cultural or ethnic identity.

Like all changes that have taken place in China since the 1980s, the pandemic resembles an accelerated historical process — whether it was the reform and opening-up in the 1980s, the boom of the market economy in the 1990s, the full-scale arrival of the globalisation era after 2008, or the current zero-Covid strategy today. In the wake of unpredictable waves of change, artists tend to gravitate towards taking position as observers and activists of the times.
