The Pride World

About This Movie

So, 'The Pride World' is a fascinating piece from 2012 that really stands out in terms of its presentation. The way this multi-channel video is projected onto Jia Xuan paper creates such a unique visual texture, which is a departure from the director's earlier works. The black and white imagery evokes a sort of haunting atmosphere, paired with a deliberate pacing that draws you in. It’s interesting how the work plays with themes of perception, fetish, and maybe even the anxieties tied to them. Not your typical video art piece, and I think that's what makes it distinctive.

This film is part of a niche segment of video art that collectors are becoming more interested in, particularly those focusing on unique display formats. Given its specific exhibition context and the scarcity of multi-channel works like this, it tends to catch the eye of collectors who appreciate experimental art. The format of projection on traditional paper adds to its uniqueness, making it a noteworthy entry in contemporary video art collections.
