In Sleep Walking, Xing examines the effect of dislocation and how the mind can blur the distinctions between the past and the present, reality and fiction. The video weaves together images from different Western cityscapes accompanied by a soundtrack composed with Chinese traditional instruments and sounds of daily life in Chinese cities. The work implies a sense of loss and displacement, and evokes contending memories. Xing reconstructs reality, creating vigorous images infused with her visions of European Old Master paintings, the realities of these cities, and personal audial and visual memories.

在"梦游"作品中,艺术家通过探索大脑是如何模糊过去与当下、现实与虚构的界限,来检验"错位"的现象。萦绕着由中国传统乐器并杂糅中国城市生活环境音而制作的声响配乐,影像将不同的西方城市景观编织在一起。作品暗示着一种迷失与迁移之感,并唤起暗潮汹涌的记忆。邢丹文重构现实,灌注其对欧洲古典绘画的眼光、城市的现实以及个人化的听觉和视觉记忆,创作出一部强有力的视频装置。
