Cold Mountain video series contemplates human relationships with the natural environment. The title, Cold Mountain, is attributed to a legendary Tang era (618–907) recluse’s poetry. Two crazy hermits giggling and pointing at the moon are repeated in Asian painting, referring to the Daoist sage-hobo poet, Han Shan, and his friend, Shide, living in nature. Poet Gary Snyder’s 1950’s translations of selected Cold Mountain poems, and characterisation of the hermit, are depicted in Jack Kerouac’s 1958 novel, The Dharma Bums.
