In Course of the Miraculous

K11 Art Foundation presents “In Course of the Miraculous” a film directed by young Chinese contemporary artist Cheng Ran.

In Course of the Miraculous” is based on three real life stories that end mysteriously. The film was shot across continents in the East China Sea, Tibet, Switzerland and Amsterdam, with a large-scale set created in an indoor shooting stage in Beijing to recreate the dramatic scenes at sea. From a crossing of the Atlantic, to an expedition to the summit of Mount Everest, to inexperienced sailors losing the majority of their crew before returning to Mainland China, a spirit of exploration, loss and melancholy unite the diverse stories. The premise of this work is based on recorded events but as the film develops, the progression enters the dominion of fiction, creating imagined dialogues discussing larger themes of action, courage and bravery.

Cheng Ran is one of the foremost new media artists practicing in the Chinese contemporary landscape.“KAF has been a long term supporter of Cheng Ran and grateful to have the opportunity to participate in this momentous endeavor. The production of a film of this length, scale and conceptual complexity is a tremendous undertaking for any artist, and particularly so for an emerging voice.” stated Adrian Cheng, Chief Producer of the film and Founder of the K11 Art Foundation. In Course of the Miraculous was unveiled for the first time at Istanbul Biennial on 2nd September 2015.

Organised by K11 Foundation.
