In 2012, Tsai Ming-liang began a series of short video works in which his longtime collaborator Lee Kang-sheng dresses in the robes of a Buddhist monk and wanders slowly, almost imperceptibly so, through the exterior and interior spaces of cities around the world. The videos were born out of Tsai’s “obsession” with Xuanzang, a seventh-century Chinese Buddhist monk whose seventeen-year pilgrimage from China to India formed the basis for the sixteenth-century literary classic Journey to the West. Join Tsai and Lee for a lively discussion of this fascinating series of works, beginning with the very first Walker video, No Form, a twenty-minute work set in Taipei. Another Walker video, Journey to the West, screens on October 23.
