Qiuheng Lin
About
Qiuheng (Qiu) Lin is an ordinary person focusing on film and moving image. His current practice and research explores how walking in landscape is an auto-ethnographic documentary practice. And how it could give space to slip out of this modern world of constant productivity.
He is obsessed with nature and being alone. He never have the longing to show to anyone he paints dreamy colours across theveiled distances, the personal happiness. His work merely shares walking alone as a method of deliberate withdrawal from achievements and the pressure to be constantly productive. It offers a space for self-care and reflection, to peacefully become better. He finds satisfaction in what already exists, and avoids wishing life to be anything other than what it is.
