Accepts Forgetting, As Well As Remembering
Cici Wu
武雨濛
This video is the artist’s mourning of the recent changes in her life. It is also a mark on the memory of a special transitional space, across and connecting two places. In this transitional space, she reflects on time and selfhood. The video features the artist walking in the East Broadway Mall, Chinatown, New York, which was founded in the 80s and is at risk of shutting down for good. It ends with a view from Hong Kong Regal Airport Hotel in December 2021.
