Blood

Blood is a collection of images, both archival and new, shot by different media both by my father (Super 8) and myself (video). It is a memory piece exploring the "queerly raced" body and its connection to disparate places and histories. Living in a queer mixed race body means negotiating many different terrains on the surface of one skin. How does living in such a body affect an awareness of contact zones where movement, body, time, and memory come together in the passing through of different histories and contexts? This video engages three different landscapes that come into contact through the sensibility one queer body - Macau, Vancouver, and Lisbon. Out on Screen 2003
