Part 1: One of Two Stories, or Both

Brilliant young artist Samson Young premieres a major new work at MIF17. Inspired by mythic tales of 17th-century Chinese travellers making their way to Europe on foot.

Fresh from representing Hong Kong at the Venice Biennale, brilliant young artist Samson Young premieres a major new work at MIF17. Inspired by mythic tales of 17th-century Chinese travellers making their way to Europe on foot, this multilayered piece asks: how are journeys remembered and retold? What of the aching feet that carry the bodies, the bumpy ride, the incidental mountains? How do stories lend meanings to places left behind?
