of Lu Yang’s forays into the darker recesses of
the human condition. It is the culmination not
only of established narratives in her work, but
of technical skills in animation and design that
Lu has honed in previous projects, and worked
meticulously to improve, to the point that she
was able to bring this ambitious project to fruition
almost single-handedly, which is no mean feat at
all. ‘A lot of my early works were video, but I have
been moving increasingly towards animation,’
she considers. ‘I don’t really look at it in terms of
specializing, I just work in the medium I think will
best convey the story I want to tell. I always want
to learn new things and collaborate with people
so that I can tell the story properly, whether that
involves researching anatomy and neuroscience,
or improving my skills with computer software.’
? With a cauldron of bizarre and brilliant ideas
bubbling away in her mind, and an ever-growing
arsenal of skills with which to execute them, the
future looks bright for Lu Yang. With prestigious
SHANGHAI247.NET
shows across Europe and Asia already under her
belt, international stardom beckons, and a lot of
people inside and outside Shanghai will be waiting
to find out where her next project will take us.
It probably won’t be a story which everyone will
want to hear, but it’s vital that the story is told.
