Panic is one in a three-part series in which Beck revisits footage of video performances he created nearly a decade earlier.

In her new work, Thornton confronts the economic and cultural transformation of contemporary China, evoking the spectacle of capitalism run amok. Creating a layered landscape of alienation and dislocation, Thornton shoots from her window of the Jin Jiang Hotel in Shanghai, the site of Mao's 1972 meeting with Nixon, and revisits her 1983 film Adynata, itself an exploration of Orientalism and the Other.
