54*28*22cm, glass, multi-media installation, Zhé Wang & Daniel Heitz, 2021 /2025

The series of Tales present fable stories the artist created, in the classical Chinese structure. #01 is using symmetric Chinese characters. #02 is using the oracle script- an early form of Chinese script. Though for non-Chinese speakers, it’s impossible to understand. This is even difficult for native Chinese speakers to understand. Because nowadays classical Chinese is no longer popular, but only as a subject in the school. And people have to translate the classical Chinese into modern Chinese to understand. The work shows not only the absurdity of the stories, but also the aesthetics of the character itself. Chapter 1 a long time ago, in the Mountain East there was a clear fountainhead a guy called Zhe, farmed hundreds acres of land there he was farming everyday in the mountain to feed all his friends all the friend, they drank tea in the garden and did nothing Zhe felt tired, but nothing changed one day, a big flood came all the crop was ruined Zhe cried. "Why does the God not love me!" Chapter 2 Zhe went to the witch to ask for help the witch told Zhe to go to the Mountain West there Zhe found a yellow Monster then he fed it with liquorice. it turned into a blue Monster the Monster ate Zhe but Zhe wasn’t dead, instead he became a immortal Zhe rode on the Monster and went back to the Mountain East all the friends were standing still and shocked they hadn’t eaten for days and all lost a lot weight. even their faces were concave one said, "if you are still not back, we will all be dead!" Zhe said, "there will be a big explosion in Universe the sun will meet the moon and there will be an eye in the sky after a storm comes a calm" Chapter 3 one day after what Zhe said all came true everything was back to nice again all the friends were very happy and drank tea again in the garden Zhe rode on the Monster, left the Mountain East to the Mountain West held a banquet with 800 people. so the Mountain West stood out to the Gods then 6 Celestial Beasts came, offered Zhe their meat Zhe gave the meat to all the people and they all became immortals too which called the 800 Saints Chapter 4 Zhe rode the Monster, flew to the sky all people said, "it can not be true!" then ruined Zhe’s farm and drank tea in the garden THE END
