The art film To the Moon reinterprets the artistic and cognitive journey of Liu Kuo-sung. Enriched by historical footage and experimenting with visual design, the film traces the arc of Liu’s ambulatory life, moving from his birthplace in Anhui, throughout war-torn mainland China, and eventually across the strait to Taiwan. Despite the pervading rootlessness of Liu’s life, the film discloses how Liu’s ever-transforming creative process eventually led to artistic sublimation. As the film reveals, Liu’s art and life are emblematic of the pursuit of a spiritual homeland in the twentieth century.
