About the Film
Fengshui, an ancient art of geomancy believed to bring harmony in one's life, is commonly practised in Hong Kong and Taiwan, although banned as a result of the Cultural Revolution. WangShui takes us on a journey through Hong Kong's dragon gates, a series of holes on the city's most expensive high-rises, designed to allow dragons to fly through, while contemplating the mythology and selfhood.

About the director

Its work has been exhibited at venues such as the New York Film Festival, the Venice Architecture Biennale and The Shed. From Its Mouth Came a River of High-End Residential Appliances (2018) was first exhibited in Europe at the Julia Stoschek Collection in Berlin.
