This playful, expansive trilogy explores the artist’s evolving relationship with Hong Kong as the city undergoes its own upheavals. Reworking the visual language of Asian futurism, some scenes are shot on lush 16mm, immersing viewers in swoony Cantopop and late-night neon; other scenes move away from the nostalgic, stylised world of Wong Kar Wai. Working with actor Ching Ching Ho, Lam deconstructs the fictions of Hong Kong’s screen archive and her own attempts to capture memories of a disappearing homeland. This moving reflection on artmaking in the diaspora draws on collective memories to imagine possible futures.
