HEAP , is a series of videos that explore the cultural encounters that are the result of travel, and portray China through Western eyes. Created over a period of several years, each of the evocative videos in HEAP presents an experimental portrait of a thinker influenced by Chinese culture....The six videos that so far comprise HEAP question our interactions with other cultures, our motivations, expectations, and experiences. They explore the gestures of daily life that link identity to place and culture, and the ways in which language, in its physical, visual, aural, and communicative characters, is the primary medium through which we might understand, or misunderstand, one another.—Anonymous
