PREVIOUS WORKS BY OUR ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, TIM YIP

Works by, or with contribution from Tim Yip, Oscar winning Art Director and Tim
Yip Studio.

The Garden

Director: Tim Yip
Choreographer: Gao Yanjinzi
Performed by: Beijing Modern Dance Company
Music by: Wu Man / Ani Choying Drolma / Zhu Zheqin (Dadawa)

Written and Directed by Tim Yip, The Garden depicts an unworldly utopia that
accommodates the essence of all beings in the universe. The work is divided into
three parts: Wu Shi, Yuan Mie and Shen You. In the first space, there is only an
ethereal universe and a spiritual world, where a desire in spired by emotions
explodes, creating an imagined vision about what is outside that space. The
vision lasts no more than an ephemeral moment. Depicting the mortal world, the
second part begins with Nuwa, the snake bodied goddess, exploring and creating
the planet and then mankind out of her love for the world. But human desires
cause chaos over time. Nuwa does her best to appease the chaos and builds the
Garden, the most beautiful place in the world. However, as the wheel of time
breaks down, huge floods destroy everything in the world, sinking the world into
desperation, chaos and the abyss. Braving the storm, Shen You summons torrential
rain and howling winds to bring the world into nirvana for rebirth while the
Rive of Time runs out of control. In the third part, thousands of billions of
years have passed. No race of mankind is left, and things grow and die in their
own ways to form a world unknow. An intelligent primitive is enlightened of the
formidability of the emptiness, and the it rebuilds the Garden.

When the Garden is rebuilt, a succession of ghosts passes by. Deprived of flesh
and physical form, they still miss the Garden, so they enter the Land of Eternal
Emptiness. An intelligent primitive loyally guards Chun Yin regardless of the
flight of time. Shen You dances to the music to tell her the vastness and
limitlessness of the universe. Shen You dances and sheds tears…

Gaze: Invisible Visionaire

Organizers: Tim Yip Studio / Art & Science Research Center

November 16, 2019 – January 5, 2020 at 7F Art Amoy Museum, Paragon Center,
Xiamen

“Gaze is the state in which humans see the unknown world. Each movie seems to
open the secret of human time refraction, juxtaposing different times and
spaces. This was the first impression film made on me.” --- Tim Yip

Tim Yip’s film art solo exhibition “ Gaze: Invisible Visionaire” was launched at
the Art Xiamen Museum. The show focussed on his artistic practice in film, with
a wide range of objects on display including costumes, photography, sketches and
props, alongside video projection including scenes from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon”, ‘Red Cliff” and “The Banquet: and Yip’s art films “Kitchen” and “Love
Infinity”. In recent years, he has reassessed what film can be, exploring the
notion of “Primitive Film’. “Gaze: Invisible Visionaire” also presents the
development of his film art style spanning a career of more than thirty years,
including cooperation with world-renowned directors Ang Lee, John Woo, Chen
Kai-ge, Feng Xiao-gang. Tian Zhuang-zhaung- Chen Kuo-fu and Tsai Ming-liang.
Their distinctive cinematic languages have enabled Yip to watch movies from a
“multidimensional” perspective, through which he discovered the key to his “New
Oriental” aesthetics.

Medea

Directed by Wu Shing-Guo with Contemporary Legend Theatre
Set and Costume Design by Tim Yip

The Contemporary Legend Theatre is renowned for taking dance and vocal styles
from Beijing opera and applying them to Western plays. Medea, adapted from Greek
tragedy of the same name, written by Euripides, is one such merger. By adapting
western classics, Contemporary Legend Theatre try to break through the structure
of traditional Beijing Theatre, while sharing the form with new audiences. Based
on the myth of Jason and Medea, the plot follows the action of Medea, a
barbarian and the wife of Jason. She finds her position in Greek society
threatened as Jason leaves her for a princess Corinth. Medea takes vengeance on
Jason by killing his new wife as well as her own children by him, after which
she escapes to Athens to start a new life.

Considered shocking in its day, Medea and the suite of plays that it accompanied
in the City Dionysia festival came last in the festival that year (431BCE).
Nonetheless the play remained part of the tragic repertoire, and experienced
renewed interest with the emergence of the feminist movement, because of its
nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of Medea’s struggle to take charge of her own
life in a male-dominated world. The play was the most frequently performed Greek
tragedy through the 20th Century.

Reformation

Tim Yip Solo Exhibition curated by Mark Holborn

September 23 to October 23, 2016 at The Power Station of Art, Shanghai

The starting point to Tim Yip’s exhibition is a traditional Chinese scholar’s
library. Such a creative space is well established historically. The contents
are revealing. There, a simple but elegant table and chair would sit in a sparse
chamber. The brushes for calligraphy would be at hand, scrolls in evidence. The
patterns of the windows would allow for a soft light and perhaps glimpses of a
garden beyond. In this exhibition we begin in a comparable space that serves as
the seat of the imagination.

Here, the traditional elements are replaced with objects from the twenty first
century and from the artist’s studio. This is the place where the dreams are
constructed…

The entire space is constructed like a like a map of the human brain where the
past, the present and the infinite natural world coexist. The zones of the
imagination are presented as if drawn in a strange new cartography. The course
of the exhibition is a passage from the scholar’s library to an equivalent of
the interior of the imagination with Lili at its core.
