Dinu Li: The Anatomy of Place

23 Jun-14 Jul 2018

Overview

Dinu Li’s second solo exhibition at Danielle Arnaud brings together for the first time a newly completed trilogy of films entitled, The Anatomy of Place (2018). Shot over a ten-year period, the trilogy includes: Ancestral Nation (2007), Family Village (2009) and Nation Family (2017). The films amalgamate Li’s research from the past ten years, combining Super 8 footage, video, animation, performance, found images and personal archives. They are geographically specific to China, and invite questions relating to conflating histories and the essence of place.
