Urumqi Folded

Time: The near future, an era where technology and traditional culture coexist. Yet in certain parts of Urumqi, “time” seems to flow differently. Location: - The main setting is Urumqi, Xinjiang: the International Grand Bazaar, Hongshan Park, the Southern Mountains Scenic Area, Erdaoqiao, the Dabancheng Wind Farm, Tianchi Lake, and more. - Some events take place in abstract “mental spaces” or “realms of consciousness,” such as “inside an apple core,” “a folded street,” and “a bazaar made of sound.” Atmosphere: By day, Urumqi is filled with sunshine, dry winds, and the vivid rhythms of everyday life. At night, it is shrouded in a surreal, slightly wistful romance, where “cosmic” encounters seem possible.
