Postcolonial Queen (2025)

"Postcolonial Queen" is a video poem and collage film that satirizes Hong Kong's complex identity through dance, city visuals, and a reenactment of Queen Elizabeth II's visit. It captures nostalgic memories shaped by colonial history, using bamboo scaffolding to represent societal changes and mirrors to reflect surface-level modernity, hinting at deeper identity questions. The narrative weaves together collective memories and personal stories, contrasting the historical event of the queen's visit with a young woman's reflections on her past relationship. This intermingling of narratives invites viewers to explore the fluidity of identity and the evolving essence of Hong Kong amid tensions between progress and tradition.

Distant Nixa

The film choreographically covers the distance between two women and their mirroring selves, under Laurie Spiegel's soundscape and with the ambiance of VHS video. Their bodies, sometimes two and others four, are always connected with a rope, influenced by white noise retro interference, sound scratches and pauses. They approach each other until they connect and then finally completely disappear, nullifying the distance between them. The reverse movement of these similar bodies-idols aims to compose a dance of the two and the one, our close and more distant self and to reach to the void in between them.

Self Decapitation

The documentary portrayed one of the most established dance companies in Hong Kong which has a history of over four decades. With a tradition of blending Chinese dance and ballet together in the training, the dance company has set sail to re-evaluate its artistic essence by adapting new physical disciplines and philosophy, picking up different cultural traces, meditation and Chinese martial arts. Through monologues of the company members, the film unveiled their fears, self-doubts, and findings in their quest to refine their dance forms and express their cultural roots. It's an uncertain journey towards the cultivation of inner peace and the essence of movement and stillness.
