"As a video camera fed a live simulcast of the event onto a giant scrim, artist Liu Ding applied paint to its surface, as if trying to trace the secret patterns emerging from the interactions between artists, audience and artworks. Taking its title from a Chinese proverb that can be understood to mean, “respond by reading between the lines”, Tracing the Wind and the Shadows created a record of Liu Ding’s ultimately futile efforts to decipher the chaos around him. As the paint thickened atop the overlapping video images, it gently mapped a paranoiac dream, suggesting a conspiracy of hidden meanings within the night, but refusing to disclose them. In this dark parable, the more the artist sought to depict the shadows, the more his vision was obscured."
