Through multiscreen videos, wall projections, neon installations, vibrant graphic works, narrative texts and ancient Chinese objects, Kongkee unfurls his speculative odyssey centered on the legendary Chinese poet Qu Yuan, who lived during the Warring States Period (c. 481-221 BCE). His multimedia narrative traces the journey of Yuan's soul from the ancient Chu Kingdom to a retro-futuristic Asia where he is reborn as an android in an imagined psychedelic cyberpunk landscape--replete with cyborgs, electro rock and surprising romantic reunions. \u003ci\u003eWarring States Cyberpunk\u003c\/i\u003e elaborates upon the artist's worldmaking feat, probing the exhibition's thematic subject matter through four scholarly essays and an interview with Kongkee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abby Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delmonico Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636812021","brand":"Delmonico Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939910733961,"sku":"9781636812021","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_813636d4-89f6-407b-b47b-5f66ced0a8a3.jpg?v=1781660100","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kongkee-warring-states-cyberpunk-9781636812021","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
