Art Mural Film: Chengdu Mural Number 1 - short art film with abstract audio

Chengdu Mural Number 1 is a visually immersive short art film directed by Canadian filmmaker Perry Mark Stratychuk, produced in 2021. This experimental video project offers a detailed, meditative exploration of the large-scale urban mural Chengdu Number 1, created by acclaimed media artist Tin Toy Killer. Through close-up framing, shifting perspectives, and rhythmic pacing, the film transforms a static public artwork into a dynamic visual experience.

Set against an electronic soundtrack by The Pim Zond Project, the film blends ambient soundscapes with layered imagery to evoke the energy, symbolism, and cultural resonance of black and white abstract art. Shot on location in the Daedal Culture Salon, Chengdu, China, the piece captures the intersection of space, creative expression, and artistic echoes in one of Asia’s most creatively vibrant cities.

Perfect for fans of urban art documentaries, experimental cinema, and cross-cultural visual studies, Chengdu Mural Number 1 invites viewers to slow down and engage with the textures, shapes, and emotional undercurrents of a mural that speaks beyond language.
