Overview

Confronting a meter-high red cordon, Anna Uddenberg questions our social consensus: "How can a fragile piece of red fabric so easily direct the flow of human movement?" Anna Uddenberg is a Berlin-based contemporary artist. This film offers a glimpse into her first solo exhibition in China, held at Tank Shanghai. Structured in three parts—Casting, Rehearsal, and Performance—the film offers a stylised, non-linear response to Uddenberg’s sculptural language, exploring themes of bodily discipline, synthetic femininity, and ritualised consumerism.
