Mermaid
projector, speaker, 350 x 200 cm
In the fairy tale, the little mermaid used to be a kind intermediary. She represented nature and came to the world of mankind to be close to human beings. In reality, she is a representative of the city, a tourist souvenir and a atress of many commercial films. In the video of Qimeng Sun the factory in the distance is her castle, the night is her fig leaf, a glove that was lost in the sea seemed to fondle her legs.
Here indicates not only the loss of a romantic fairy tale, as well as a permanent separation between mankind and nature.
