Hui Tao, winner of the Grand Prize, talks about how the idea of making the video Talk About Body originated from his notion about his own identity and body, how he sought to construct himself in an object with an indistinct identity, dressing as a Muslin girl and analyzing, while sitting in her room and having her friends listen to her, the physical characteristics of her body. The artist also talks about how he seeks to find balance between the material and the spiritual body through the narrative, and how this piece extends his work on identity and locality.
