Qianyi Ma

Wander

2020 | 10 min | China/Canada

Wander is a film primarily experimenting with the effects of superimpositions to play with surreal sensations, as a poetic dialogue floats along the way. No incarnation of the subjects exists inside, only the two’s voices hovering over the dynamics like extraterrestrial creatures drifting away from the Earth. The atmosphere is dangerous. And the fluid exhibition of sceneries spans from Asia to North America with chaotic velocity, which may relive a spiritual diaspora after fragmentary experiences here and there. In this visual space, the past is unrelentingly flooded away in the fading memory.

Qianyi Ma is a writer and visual artist. Her writings play with fiction, poetry, and experimental pieces. And she has been working on the combination of images and texts by illustrated stories and videos. So far, the inclination to imagine liminal space has started to mark her creative experiences.

Basically, she concentrates on short fiction with a collection of five illustrated writings, Stumble into Neurons, Falls into Hell, Heart, the World Divided and A Red Heel, and other textual fiction, Surrogate Friend, Bubbles, and A Documentary Wandering at Midnight. Meanwhile, she is tiptoeing in the field of filmmaking, continuing her style of floating and wandering.
