YIJU 移居: Songs of Dislocation is a multimedia environment with audio from eight speakers and video within four sculptures. Filmmaker Chishan Lin and media installation artist John D. Pai provide footage of China and my grandparents. Landscape architect Lorraine Pai shapes a night-garden from video projected through wire-mesh.
In this space between memories and fantasy, my collaborators and I invite you to linger. Spend awhile here before your feet once again meet earth; the place where migration begins.
YIJU 移居: Songs of Dislocation was created as part of a Jack Straw New Media Gallery residency in Seattle. The gallery was transformed into an audio/visual sanctum from November to December 2004.
