Seven Intellectuals in a Bamboo Forest 竹林七賢
2003–2007
This is one segment of a five-part film that alludes to the Chinese legend ‘Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove’. The story refers to seven young poets and writers from the Wei and Jin dynasties who escape to the idealised world of a bamboo forest. Yang places young urbanites in a lush forest landscape where they are caught between the fantasy and the reality of their existence.
