Foundation for Spirituality and the Arts (FSA) presents a large scroll painting and performance video by renowned Beijing and Los Angeles-based artist Bingyi, created in 2018 at sacred Buddhist mountain sites in China as a land and weather project entitled "Emei Mountains.”
Bingyi’s multifaceted practice spans ink, environmental, and performance art, as well as site-specific architectural installation; she draws inspiration from traditional Chinese Shan Shui landscape painting and ancient Daoist philosophy, and adopts a non-anthropocentric perspective to channel nature's creative agency.
The inspiration for this work, also called the "Weeping Mountains and Rivers" series, originated in a transcendental experience Bingyi had in 2009 while visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
