Mythos

Mythos
by Xun Sun
Country: China
Year: 2006
Duration: 5'


China, its history, the thrust of the present and the tension of the past. But also apocalyptic visions, terminal scenes, pollution in a world cast adrift… “Strange mythos. His, yours, theirs and yours as well as ours, mythos. Fabricator’s manifesto and clamour. In the empire with no borders and in the city with no harbour, history was cut into countless debris. The distant signal fire. Unable to reductive the history in hypothesis, everyone is a king, everyone is a magician. The dictionary of mythos is the law.”
