    Women Fifty Minutes

    SHI Tou 2006 China Documentary color 54min Chinese Beta SP
    Shitou shot these videos mainly in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, remote and developing areas in south-west China, and metropolitan cities like Beijing from 2000 to 2004 to document the social changes in contemporary China. She sympathetically and erotically represents a variety of women, including women as laborers, women as prayers, women in play ground, women in marriage, and women who lie on the funeral pyre with their dead husbands. Her camera juxtaposes the mountains and rivers in old times, the commercialized handicrafts as exposition, the capital exploitation of the elders’ living space, and the erotic freedom of the young people in a changing city.
