Divinatory cards have long been part of human culture, with Tarot being the most widely known. In China, too, divination has a deep and rich history. Mountain River Jump! draws on this tradition by using cards based on Chinese animal idioms, exploring what emerges when Eastern cultural roots meet fortune‑telling in a contemporary context.

Driven by a strong curiosity about human psychology and personal narrative, the artists weave together Oriental mysticism and folklore to open conversations around identity politics, labor, feminism, life politics, modernity, and more.

All Chinese text has been thoughtfully translated into English, making the system accessible to English‑speakers as well. No need to read Chinese—just try it, and see what it reveals.
