Place Listening
2024
Sound and Moving Image Installation (Slide Projection, Chairs, Found Objects and Text)

Place Listening is an installation that explores how sound may act as a trigger for memories, be they real or imagined. Rooted in a series of auto-fictional exercises interpolated from archival photographs drawn from the artist’s personal history, this work traces her nomadic experiences of moving across Southeast Asia from early childhood to adulthood. Inviting audience members to sit in on her stories, four chairs within the installation each holds the cue to a soundscape composed to evoke the artist’s memories of going to school in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, from the 1970s through the early 2000s, while a fifth chair leads to a circular slide projector playing on loop to reveal a decade-long observational diary of public chairs in Hong Kong, probing at the relationship between technologies of information storage and the construction of public memories.
