Notes
The Anthropology of Science Fiction is a collection of prints featuring characters from sci-fi movies interspersed with images of Māori, Maasai, Himba and other indigenous peoples. Liu Chuang is interested in speculative histories that merge science fiction films (most particularly Spielberg’s ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and Tarkovsky’s ‘Solaris’) with anthropological investigations of China’s ethnic minority peoples and other first nations people.
