"Music has an important influence on me; the various rhythms have big influences on my practice and the way I understand the world. I’m always feeling the world is in a state of flux. To me, the rhythm is not only concerned with speed, but also concerned with sentience. I prefer to describe lots of things with rhythm, like sculpture, literature, music, movies and so on. In different areas, rhythm reflects things in different ways. For example, dance and music by the change in gesture and timing; sculptures by the different structures and shapes; literature through rhetoric; movies through the editing and camera movement, etc. The rhythm does not only appear in separate areas, it can also appear in different areas at the same time. For me, rhythm means all the intersections of sense. It’s a way I understand the associations between things. It helps me to try and transfer action, see, listen, think about interactions and freely build a link between them. I consider it a way of practice. In this practice, the action is both a way to experience and tocommunicate. In this way, you could do nothing but blend with the world, become the world; and you could also do something to let the world blend with you, become you". Guan Xiao
