ZHOU TIEHAI 周铁海
b. 1966, works and lives in Shanghai
It combines humor and sadness, the artists and artistic environment today is still the same, perhaps, it attracts less attention as the system of auction, gallery and art fair is growing which narrows the environment and operating methods. Came out in 1996, did this work correspond with the trend of integrating with the world, resist with its identity and environment, or sneer at the people around?
Will/ We Must is a 35mm film work, taking the form of early silent film in aspects of the chapters, the dialogues and the montages. It carries the anthropological sense of the cultural environment, daily life and individuals in 90s.
