Focusing on the aspect of ‘no records found’ about the hidden underground bunker discovered in 2005, A Room Without Mirrors tells a story about the bunker personified as a fictitious political prisoner who doesn’t remember anything about its past. The Agency, who does not concede the situation in which the bunker has to exist in itself without any purpose or reason, forces it to fabricate its blank history with numerous records perhaps not directly related to it. In years-long interrogation, the bunker decides to make up a story, staying as close to the truth as possible. Employing news archives and sounds in the 1970s, A Room without Mirrors portrays our childhood memories of rupture, trauma, and loss, not to reconstruct an original image of the past but to trace how the past is signified and forgotten.

Deepening confusion becomes a delightful experience watching this collaborative film by Daniel Jacoby and Araki Yu. The documentary observes the idiosyncratic sounds and rhythms of Ban’ei, a rare kind of draft horse race that takes place only in Obihiro, Japan.

In an environment with mirrored walls that create infinite reflections, a video plays in an EVD. This all-in-one home entertainment system was produced in the early 2000s in China as a progressive device with the aim to allow hearing-impaired people to “see music”. Soon considered outdated, this sophisticated instrument ended up in remote rural areas of Sichuan where the artist noticed it while conducting field research in ethnomusicology. Recalling a dashboard for space navigation in a science-fiction film, it inspired him with a dreamlike narrative, suspended between past and future. Liu references major Western SciFi movies, the chants of ethnic minorities from the South-East of China and the sudden arrival of pop music in Hong Kong, in the 1980. Between the vernacular and the urban, the artist ponders the powers of magic, utopia and disappearance.
