Featured Work
The Museum of Departures
2015, United Kingdom, 16mm, 6', colour, sound
The Gerrard Street Chinatown is perhaps London’s greatest museum. Everything is displayed behind glass walls– people, actions, novelties, food items. It’s the reconstruction of a culture that belongs to the other side of the world. A culture descended from a people that had departed their homeland. Through the glass’s surface reflections, the artist sees reflections of himself and remembers sounds from his recent past and echoes of his own departures.
