Fae Sun 孫子非

An experimental filmmaker and independent artist based in Los Angeles and Guangzhou.
Fae Sun (Zifei Sun) works with digital media, 16mm film, thermal imaging, and archive footage. Her practice probes mutable boundaries between repetition and rupture, human and non-human, prophecy and memory, appearance and meaning, and the traces of horror, absurdity, and tenderness that surface in the shifting zones.
She holds a BFA in Sculpture from China Academy of Art and an MFA in Film/Video from California Institute of the Arts.

12 diary fragments weave digital, 16mm, and thermal traces. A riddle windows the quotidian flashes. Image and text entwine, probing the timbre of a path through liminal landscapes of collective dissolution and symbolic rupture, leading toward the game’s ending.

An improvisation in the dark on mischief.A dance film where geometry strains under inherited weight.
