Objects on the Sidewalk (Montréal) 2024


Documenting discarded household items on the sidewalks of Montreal, this series of photographs captures transitional moments, embodied by briefly erected monuments appearing just before garbage collection. In these objects, the artist sees a change in someone’s living situation to which she is familiar. While the objects cannot tell the whole story, they communicate a sense of loss or melancholia, liminality, and the accelerated pace of change in urban settings.   

Inkjet prints, various sizes.
Production assistant: Roxanne Ross.

Synopsis

Against the backdrop of modern housing estates on the outskirts of Berlin, two East Asian women appear as elusive figures that recite monologues about memories of migration, place and the notion of home. Creating a maze-like structure through sequences of walking, the film touches on the impressions of disorientation that one experiences in familiar spaces in a foreign place.

Gwacheon Jugong Complex 1, 1981-2017

This project commemorates the demolition of Gwacheon Jugong Complex 1, where a childhood friend, H, and I grew up in. H lived in this complex from his birth until his first son was born. The desktop video "Recalling (Memory Machine)" documents a virtual walk taken using google map into the neighbourhood two years after its demolition was completed. The live satellite view shows the construction zone, while switched to a street view mode, it shows how it used to be. Such experience is purely visual, dry, and technical, while it resonates with memory. I was interested in the tension created when experiencing the technology with such a strong nostalgia and emotional charge.
