E-Ticket
by Simon Liu
2019, 13”
Presented at the 15th edition of Lo schermo dell’arte, 2022
A tight editing of 35mm photo negatives and moving pictures, taken during the artist’s formative years, are obsessively cut apart, reshuffled then tape spliced together inch by inch in rigid increments. Fragmented views swipe between a school trip to India then culminate with a protest of a 2005 World Trade Organization summit in Hong Kong. E-Ticket is a frantic (re)cataloging of a personal archive and an opportunity for rebirth to forgotten images.
