These tracks are part of a larger body of work "印映 reflections impressions", which draws from my personal experience of learning and teaching the erhu.
The series unfurls through an ensemble of works encompassing video, print and annotations to reflect on imitation and mimicking as a way of learning. At the source of these works lies the famed 1950 erhu audio recording of Mirrored Moon in the Erquan Spring (二泉映月, Erquan Yingyue) by Abing. A seminal figure in the realm of the erhu, Abing is a Chinese folk musician revered for his innovative playing style and legendary—but largely undocumented —contributions to musical compositions for this two-stringed bowed instrument.
