Inner Voices and Exterior Visions is a two-day film programme curated by Hera Chan, Alvin Li, and Yang Li, that brings together recent work by artists who adopt languages and strategies from pop culture to reflect on its entanglement with social, political, and cosmological events.
The works in this Interior: The Voice of Dreams, including a live performance by Wong Kit Yi, help us think about what we consider to be emanating from our insides, or our interior. These include a focus on one's inner voice and how that inner voice is influenced by the media we encounter.
Tao Hui's Pulsating Atom features a middle-aged female narrator who guides us through a slew of short clips —teenagers breakdancing in the street, a sweaty indoor spin class, older women exercising in a plaza— all shot to resemble viral TikTok videos.
Wong Kit Yi will join us to present Inner Voice Transplant, a karaoke lecture performance inspired by the story of the world’s first voice-box transplant, which was carried out at Cleveland Clinic in 1998.
Diane Nguyen Severin's If Revolution is a Sickness is set in Warsaw, Poland, loosely following an orphaned Vietnamese child who grows up to be absorbed into a South Korean pop-inspired dance group.
