Song Dong (who lives in Beijing) combines performance, video installation, calligraphy, and sculpture, frequently in site-specific projects. Through time-based media he explores a culture in flux, as tradition and urbanization face off in contemporary society. In Broken Mirror (2003), in which he stands in Tiananmen Square and destroys one reflected urban scene to reveal another hidden behind it, the act of destruction becomes a moment of revelation. Song discusses his most recent media works produced in China, and the complex issues at the heart of this work.
