Danqi Cai

heavens have one sun; mortals have one way 天无二日，人无二理 a multimedia installation that reminds the viewer we all see from a perspective where some things are visible while others are invisible. It employs handmade papers and animations to remix ancient Chinese characters, appropriated instructional materials, and diagrammatic family portraits. Through this work, I re-enroll myself in my past education to re-consider and re-create what I learned as a child.
