Mother’s Tongue

Three virtual Chinese restaurants in Stockholm provide the setting for stories from three generations of owners and their families in the years between 1978 and 2058. The cross-media work 'Mother's Tongue' is a collaboration between artist Lap-See Lam and filmmaker Wingyee Wu. The film version is created with a spatial scanner that has produced the three-dimensional architectural animations which a weightless camera floats around in, while we in three short episodes listen to the personal stories about language, identity and life as a Chinese person in Sweden.
