Osmanthus Nocturne No. 4 【桂香夜曲第四】

A collaboration with SF Chinatown’s local printer Duxwell Printing and tabled with the Chinese Culture Center, Osmanthus Nocturne No. 4 【桂香夜曲第四】is a Chinese horror tribute to the vulnerable diplomatic pandas of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan, China. With a foreword by Tim Tran, the apparently tongue-in-cheek story takes a closer examination of the nebulous international art world, couching its criticisms in a larger argument about the primacy of the surveillance state both at home and abroad, and its overt influence on how ideas are exchanged.
