Join Griffin Art Projects online to hear what Chad Wong has been up to during his residency at Griffin. Wong delves into first-generation Chinese-Canadian identity through photo-based conceptualism. His residency at Griffin concludes with the 3-day Selected Exhibition 我住喺呢度嘅!/I live here!
我住喺呢度嘅!/I live here! is a photo “redocumentation” series that appropriates existing footage taken during the 2019 pro-democratic protests in Hong Kong. Through the act of rephotographing, I sought to recreate the experience as if I were physically present. The digitally photographed images of footage on a computer screen are marked by a moiré pattern that draws attention to the physicality of the screen and emphasizes the distance between myself and the events.
