In the wake of the excitement over Shui-Bo Wang's 1998 Academy Award nomination for best short documentary film, this publication examines Sunrise Over Tiananmen Square, the film that earned the Montreal-based artist this honour. In addition to images from the film, we are presented with a selection of the still imagery that comprises the kinestatically-animated documentary. These images include both family and archival photographs, but are largely comprised of Shui-Bo's politically charged drawings. The film candidly traces the coming of age in China during the Cultural Revolution of the 1970s and 1980s. Shui-Bo takes us on a journey from his childhood, under his beloved Chairman Mao, to his days as a propaganda poster artist and member of the Red Guard, in the midst of government oppression, to the bloody Tiananmen Square massacre. Shui-Bo's drawings chart the complex relationship between Chinese artists and the Communist regime. Deified representations of Chairman Mao give way to scenes of government-incited tragedy; Pop art and Renaissance icons replace traditional Chinese illustration; Coca-Cola bottles collide with Karl Marx's portrait. Shui-Bo's masterfully juxtaposed imagery stunningly testifies to the artist's struggle to sort out conflicting ideologies to see his world truly. The publication itself is meant to resemble The Little Red Book.
