Birds in Cage

"Birds would fly, China caged at all." Unlike the West, China and its economic activities fend for themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic. The exports have been halted overall due to the Chinese CCP's confidence in the totalitarian control and the mirage of domestic economic resurgence throughout the socio-political regime. The countless factories and plants like I recorded this time were scraped by the stress. China re-enters a dilemma of self-consuming, selling at home and being like the rest part of the world as well as enclosed again, similar as the circling laborers in this documentary film.

Letter to T: In Nuclearity, We Are Connected

With a contemplative letter to a friend as its point of departure, this video essay examines the complex, paradoxical visuality of the atom bomb in China. From 1960s military documentaries to contemporary CGI-enhanced fictions, a visual trope of the communal “People’s Bomb” was orchestrated in counterpoint to the evils of imperialism and the untamed wilderness of the Gobi Desert. Amid the ecological crises of the Anthropocene, Letter to T suggests that despite the disenchantment with and the re-politicisation of the image, we might find radical sources of connection and endurance in nuclearity.
