Kah Bee Chow's 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 (2025) focuses on the walled enclosure of her family home, and uses archival footage to process her father's passing. In the work, his garden becomes a mnemonic device and the camera a technology that enacts a form of touch. In the absence of a conventional protagonist, grief provokes a rhythm of sensual close-ups and textual interludes.
