Laevarish
Laevarish is an artist from China, working and studying in the UK and Europe. Laevarish’s works include a wide range of areas, performance, acting, improvisational music, dance, theatre, photography, painting, film, etc. Laevarish believes that every material form is only a tool to reach a ‘destination’, thus there shouldn’t be any barriers or restrictions when creating artworks. The works are always about the ‘magic’ lying underneath reality, and the unconscious ocean which all human-beings share as a whole, where people can reach an understanding with each other regardless of race, nationality, class, gender or any other social background.
Kaleidos
The work ‘Kaleidos’ is a collage of drawings, fabric, photography and other hand-made elements. Characters, creatures from dream, channelled spirits and flow of energies create a colourful ecosystem. It builds layers under layers, which allow the audience to watch from a diversity of angles and inviting them to become part of it.
Sisyphus Montage
Loud sound and shaking visuals
Sisyphus has always been an iconic story to tell us: even if we try hard every day, we stay the same.
But trying hard every day, even meaningless to nowhere, is experiencing life in its primitive form, which is the total meaning of life.
A city mounted in the mountain. A group of artists doing improvisational music. Messed up.
Visuals are designed to match the flow of the frequencies – it’s meant to ‘distract’ and ‘attract’.
Mirrored Flower, Watery Moon
Disturbing sound and visuals (not present online)
Video and performance. The title comes from a Chinese idiom, flower in the mirror, moon in the water, which means unrealistic aspirations. Literally, it means something you can see but you can never truly touch. It’s reality, but somewhat twisted reality, drifting away from reality under the filters of emotions, desires and mentality.
Temporarily not uploading the full video online. A soundtrack I made for the video is available.
