Storyline & Synopsis

Set in the misty mountains of southern China, a landscape shaped by tourism and natural spectacle, Vertical Dialogues follows the movement of mist as it gathers, disperses, and reshapes the land. Through a drifting journey back, the familiar landscape feels unfamiliar, caught between closeness and distance, memory and imagination. Mixing documentary and fiction, the work views mist not just as a weather feature, but as a changing boundary between the body and the land, disappearance and return. As fragmented actions, wandering images, and poetic narration unfold, the mountain appears as both a place and a ghost. It carries traces of migration, longing, and inherited attachment, while resisting set ideas of home.
