China's greatest living filmmaker Jia Zhangke Platform, The World travels with acclaimed painter Liu Xiaodong from China to Thailand as they meet everyday workers in the throes of social turmoil. Liu Xiaodong is well-known for his monumental canvases, particularly those inspired by China's Three Gorges Dam project. The area is in the process of being "de-constructed" by armies of shirtless male workers who form the subject of Liu's paintings. Liu and Jia next travel to Bangkok, where Liu paints Thai sex workers languishing in brothels.
The two sets of paintings are united in their subjects' shared sense of malaise in the face of the dehumanizing labor afforded them. It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet.
