WYX·Monkeys Fetching the Moon
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Illustration / Posters / 2023
In Monkeys Fetching the Moon, RIFLING referenced the traditional Chinese folk tale of the same name to express the yearning for good things in life. In the new interpretation, this desire is portrayed by ceremonial dance, worship, and other ritualistic acts. The use of flat images to document such sacred customs is often seen in ancient murals created by Western civilisations. Yet flat, simple shapes and colours, free of decorative elements, often appeared in the Far East as well.
