"New Narratives" at XEC Interplay G0 Gallery (China)

Curator of the "New Narratives" programme for XEC Interplay at G0 Gallery.

The New Narratives programme offers a pioneering exploration of storytelling, stretching and reimagining conventional forms. These films intertwine themes of personal identity, societal critique, and emotional depth in innovative ways, broadening the landscape of cinematic expression. With fragmented structures, experimental visuals, and poetic interpretations, the works encourage audiences to engage with narratives in fresh, thought-provoking manners. In New Narratives, artists redefine storytelling as an open space for interpretation, emphasizing emotional resonance and conceptual depth. By tackling themes such as isolation, mental health, and the intricate dynamics between humans and their environments, these films present new paradigms for how stories can be experienced.

Featured artists: Agnieszka Waszczeniuk, Alex & Brett Fishback, Arkus, Chanwoo Jeon, Joanna Polak, João Pedro Amorim, Kiarash Dadgar, Lorenzo Silano, Qiang Chen.


新叙事
新叙事主题对叙事进行了开创性的探索，对传统形式进行了新的延展和构想。这些影片以创新的方式将个人身份、社会批判和情感深度等主题相互交织，拓宽了电影表达的视野。这些作品以碎片化的结构、实验性的视觉效果和诗意的诠释，鼓励观众以崭新的、引人思考的方式参与叙事。在“新叙事”主题下，艺术家们将叙事重新定义为一个开放的阐释空间，强调情感的共鸣和概念的深度。通过探讨孤独、心理以及人类与环境之间错综复杂的动态关系等主题，这些影片为如何体验故事提出了新的范式。
