Kua Fu Chasing the Sun / Xiao Longhua
"Kua Fu Chasing the Sun" is an ancient mythological story. In modern society, preserving memories through oral storytelling has virtually disappeared. This is Xiao Longhua’s attempt to reshape this story passed down through generations, blending his own understanding and uncovering crevices of narrative from fragmental information concealed in various sources. He presents a new form of memory medium - digital stele, awaiting decipherment and interpretation by future generations.
On the box there is a diagram, which is composed according to a text written by Xiao Yong. In the diagram, the basic narrative of Kua Fu chasing the Sun is disassembled into these 5 structural points, ensuring the most basic completeness and coherence of the story. Each point can be expanded into a set composed of endless lexical elements. Please mix and match them arbitrarily, creating plots that may be bizarre, chaotic, funny, or absurd, but are just one of the countless possibilities.
