China not China

 China not China

2018, Australia, 16mm, color, sound, 14 min. 10 sec.

Hong Kong marked 20 years since its hand over; just under halfway through the planned 50 year’s “one country, two systems” transition. Taiwan, once imperial China, once Formosa, now ROC (Republic of China) on the edge of the PRC (People’s Republic of China). Multiple exposures of street scenes distort space and place creating a fluid sense of impermanence and transition, of two states somewhere between China and not China.
