Performance by Susie Au
Amidst the bustle of an art fair setting, Susie Au presents a surreal “walk-in-cinema”, beckoning audiences into a multi-sensory experience of light manipulation and spatial metamorphosis.
The exhibition space transforms into a corridor of memories constructed from humble cardboard boxes. Within this organically sprawling structure, audiences move alongside performers through the open vessels, peering into fragmented projections cast onto their interior walls. Visitors may choose to sit in quiet observation, capture fleeting moments with their cameras, or simply let the drifting projections wash over their skin
These phantasmagoric moving images draw from Au’s extensive archive of music videos and cinematic essays. Through varying loop frequencies, fragments of the past are intricately dismantled and reassembled, allowing latent memories to emerge as new sensory narratives.
