"I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Parasol unit since it was established in 2004. I have always also felt that the Parasol project shared affinities with my work because of its grasp of global themes that reach far beyond the local boundaries of Western curatorial interest. In my humble opinion Parasol has been one of the UK’s key foundations in promoting exhibitions of moving image in this country over the last 10 years: artists such as Yang Fudong and Eija-Liisa Ahtila and more. I have greatly admired what Ziba has done in the last decade, but I have a favourite exhibition that stands out in particular. In 2006 they had an exhibition of work by Fudong called ‘No Snow on the Broken Bridge’. I was so impressed with what I saw that I asked the artist to appear in my 2010 work Ten Thousand Waves, as the lover of the beautiful actress Zhao Tao. I look forward to the next 10 years with great excitement and curiosity!"
