WHAT
Through video screening, the artists narrate through different angles to share their observations, feelings, and thoughts after the belated easing of China’s zero-COVID policy at the end of 2022. The presentation is divided into two thematic scenes, each lasting for a duration of three weeks; the gallery space is divided into multiple screening rooms, each with an artist’s film playing on loop.

WHY
The purpose of the presentation is to allow reflections on how three years of isolation and displacement have taken a toll on people’s mental and physical well-being, both within the mainland and overseas. As the 5th iteration of the summer video screening programme, it is a unique platform dedicated to showcasing moving images by established as well as emerging artists.
