Installation by OCAD University’s Yuling Chen

Yuling Chen’s work Video:Game // A Separate Memory Demands Retracing relates to themes of surveillance, self-perception and migration. This project requires the performer to play games of hopscotch backwards while live-projecting their facial expressions. The performance uses audience participation and further develops our understanding of migrating movements.
