Jun Yang: A Short Lecture on Forgetting and Remembering Film Film stills Installation views Screenings and conversations This film indirectly "documents" a lecture by the Chinese-Austrian artist Jun Yang, by framing away his appearance and editing out his English speech, and instead solely showing the Japanese interpreter Noriko Kobayashi at work. As revealed by the talk, Yang's work itself is about uncertainty of self in the state of translation. Here, through the (mis)use of "I", the "medium" keeps surrogating the "original," until the last scene where the film's ever-growing Matryoshka structure finally collapses. Cinematographer: Hikaru Fujii English subtitles: Yu Araki. photo by Shizune Shiigi << back to works
