Shift by Jimmy Yuan
Jimmy Yuan’s latest movie image work, SHIFT, is a jaw-dropping, experimental visual piece of art.
Influenced by the characters of the Peking Opera and Dali-inspired surrealism, SHIFT gives us a projection of colors, shapes and music to bring homage to and a proposal for admiration of ancient Chinese traditional culture.

From the moment David Kamps deep musical composition begins, we enter a hypnagogic landscape which oscillates like a maritime dwelling – defing the laws of physics. The seemingly white terrain, in contrast to a dark gray setting, captures our attention before Yuan shocks us with his graphical masterpieces and representations of the theatrical masks, characters of Chinese theatre.
