              Sinking Latitude

              Jiawei Zheng / Denmark & China / 2024 / World Premiere / 20 min

              Underground floods threaten a 2000-year-old city where for centuries the inhabitants have told each other myths about the end of their world.

              Jiawei Zheng’s video work ‘Sinking Latitude’ is set in a city with a history of salt mining dating back more than 2000 years. Here, generations of inhabitants have passed down a prophetic myth that the city’s underground is eroded by mining and that an underground river will one day rise up and engulf the city when an earthquake strikes. Zheng considers the underground and the flooding as both a metaphor and a manifest reality. The result is a playful collage structured around a dialog between three fictional characters – a puppy, an elderly man and a dinosaur.
