| Περίληψη: | The article focuses on the Chinese cultural and artistic tradition of shanshui ("mountains and water"), tracing its origins as a landscape painting style during the late Han Dynasty and its evolution into a Daoist-influenced worldview emphasizing cosmic interconnectedness and natural spontaneity (tianrenheyi). Contemporary Chinese artist Gao Shiqiang revitalizes shanshui through moving image art, integrating classical aesthetics and Daoist philosophy—such as wuwei ("action through nonaction") and zaohua ("continuous transformation")—to challenge Western-centric art paradigms and respond to China’s sociopolitical context. Gao’s works, including the "Mountains and Water Moving Image Project," employ traditional compositional methods like Guo Xi’s "Three Distances Method" to transcend anthropocentric perspectives, offering a poetic, multifocal experience of landscape that bridges historical literati ideals with present-day realities. The article also discusses the complexities of engaging with traditional Chinese culture amid contemporary political and cultural dynamics, highlighting the ongoing evolution of shanshui as a living philosophy and a form of subtle resistance.
