Print quality not approved. 520 "A formal 1861 portrait of a Chinese Mandarin and his wife is the starting point for this allegorical investigation of the fantasies spawned in the West about the East, particularly that which associates femininity with the mysterious Orient. Adynata presents a series of oppositions--male and female images, past and present sounds--which in and of themselves construct a minimal and fragmentary narrative, an open text of our imaginations, fears, and fantasies."--Women Make Movies catalog, 1998. 541 0 PFA 1612-01-15442.
