Linda Lai for FP / Fresh videos, in-depth transformation: 3 thoughtfully crafted journeys of the selves 三種深度轉化：三段不一的旅程
19 June 2021 六月十九日. Three video essays on living through time with one’s bodily presence. Tracey Ngai acts out her retrospection. Faith Monsod turns image objects into a passage to the infinite liminal. Pun Tsz-wai’s past resides in media artefacts and urban legends. Three fresh videos completed in May 2021, premiered at Floating Projects. 三個今年五月新鮮出爐的錄像文章。據點首次亮相。記憶是甚麼？我是誰？我的根是甚麼？用身體的實存與行動。魏芷軍演述；潘子懷在都市神話中設置自己；Faith Monsod 的主體盡在可翻開可啄蘑的聲影碎片中。
Faith Monsod / Liminality & the full-stop that never came 虛界裡的游離身份，等待不會來的句號。
Is there an intangible essence that might embody who we are? What positions do memories hold in forming one’s identity? Do our physical bodies suffice in representing us? How much of our sense of self relies on the reflexive process that governs our interpersonal relationships? HK-born Faith Monsod commits her graduation thesis to the quest.「我是誰」可以被理解為無形的實質嗎？例如，記憶能賦予我個人身份嗎？我的身體足以表徵我時誰？我的「自我意識」有多少是由我與別人的變動中的關係所衍生的？出生於香港的 Faith Monsod 用一個21分鐘的畢業作品去回應。
PUN Tsz-wai / If an elephant never forgets, would it also yearn for the past that is gone? 大象可曾忘記？
“Born in the later part of 97, I never got to experience Lai Yuen. For me, it is a place constructed by words and stories. … I would hear bits and pieces about the park and, somehow, it became part of my own childhood, part of my own memory.” (Pun Tsz-wai)「我出生於1997年的下半年，從未經驗過荔園是怎樣的。它是個由別人的字詞和故事合成的地方。一點一滴的聽著，荔園好像就是我自己的童年，是我個人的記憶。」– 潘子懷

Winnie Yan / Proper Nouns: Confession on ending things with “Localized Blindness” 專有名詞－以《局部失明》作結的自白
Localized Blindness (2019-2020) is Winnie Yan’s most recently completed video work, for Manifesto 2. She spotlit the backstage of the work’s making process, performing the complex world of thoughts and emotions traversing within. 忻慧妍的《局部失明》含蓄如密碼佈陣，定睛創作的後台是另一種風景。與其說是心情和動機上的剖白，不如說是現在進行式的隨著她的思緒找發聲的調韻。聽一個人所訴之白跟看著一個人訴白，是兩個不同的經驗，都源自記錄的衝動。
