由沈莘和金圣美呈现对《夜莺的挑衅》的现场解读。

（拍摄于韩国光州亚洲文化中心的剧场中，四频影像装置《夜莺的挑衅》分别呈现了一对情侣之间的对话，分享基因测试结果的动画角色，两个舞者的表演和在剧场中的电视里播放着的视频素材。）

A live interpretation of Provocation of the Nightingale presented by Shen Xin and Sungmee Kim. 

(Filmed in the theatre at Asia Cultural Centre in Gwangju Korea, the four channels video installation Provocation of the Nightingale presents a dialogue between lover, animation characters sharing their DNA testing results, two dancers performing and found footage playing on a TV in the centre of the theatre.)

沈莘，1990 年出生于成都，现工作、生活于伦敦与阿姆斯特丹。沈莘于 2017 年被授予“BALTIC 艺术家奖”，并在 2018 至 2019 年参与荷兰皇家视觉艺术学院的艺术家驻留项目。

沈莘的创作通过探索影像及事件来实现，同时运用虚构和真实的信息与手法。其作品检验情感、价值判断和伦理在个体及群体层面的循环运动的效应与技术。其实践专注于人与人间的复杂关系和政治的叙事，影像往往致力于创造反身性，以此解构占统治地位的权力结构。

Shen Xin (b.1990, Chengdu, China) lives and works in London and Amsterdam. Shen was awarded the BALTIC Artists' Award in 2017, and in 2018-19, she participates in the prestigious residency program with Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam.

Shen's practice engages with moving image and event through the scripted and the informative, examining the techniques and effects of how emotion, judgment, and ethic circulate through individual and collective subjects. By focusing on interpersonal complexity and political narratives, her films often aim to generate reflexiveness to dismantle dominant power structures.
