Inside Yuen Hsieh\u2019s (@yuenhsieh<\/a>) universe coexist a cocktail of eccentric and futuristic elements, and the director revolves around them with so much ease that he could have been born in a capsule of neon lights, 22nd century technology and gabber music. The artist is capable of defining his own interior universe and of bringing it to life in the form of hypnotic images, with stories and shapes that capture us and make us feel part of a parallel reality where science fiction is more present than any routine.<\/p>\n

His aesthetic has already awoken the interest of clients such as MCQ<\/a>, Dazed, Burberry or Team Wang, among others. We spoke with him about his work, his creative process and his vision of the current affairs.<\/p>\n

\"yuen<\/p>\n

Tell us about your creative process, from the beginning to the final result. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u2606<\/span>Since most of the projects are pretty rush nowadays and it is significant for me to do research just like when I was study my MA back in London from Royal College Of Art. I will watch documentaries, film or go to parties according to the project to allow myself have a clear knowledge and authentic understanding of the subject or culture I am going to talk about.<\/p>\n

I watch a lot of the video from Japanese\u2019s host culture when I was prepared the video for DAZED \u2661<\/span> ????????<\/span> WITH ROLAND \u2661<\/span>. My friend and I spent 500000 \u00a5 at Kabukicho for research and experience the culture. But actually I was not having fun at all haha. The very next day I meet up with a consultant from Japanese Host culture who is familiar with and already being part of this industry for a while. We have a bit of chat and understanding about the rule of the industry and a bit of the secret under the table. I shoot a short experimental video immediately to test it out and send it to the team of what I and imagine for it.In this case I want to pay tribute to the video game \u201dYakuza\u201c. Later I draw storyboard myself and communicate my idea clearly to the team and they are ready for pre production and schedule everything.\u2606<\/span><\/p>\n
