Single-channel video installation
2022
Two people build a barricade across an empty interior using everyday household objects. The action is inspired by the pro-democracy movements in Hong Kong and Taiwan. BARRICADE pays homage to the performativity and creativity of the protestors, who use ingenuity and the power of aesthetics to mobilize resistance on a massive scale. The video is shot in my father’s childhood home in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
