The Third Script 2.0: Duo Exhibit of Boo Junfeng and Linda Lai

Description

Both Hong Kong and Singapore, as young post-colonial city-states, are actively working to secure historical identities through a linear historical narrative. The Third Script 2.0 presents two alternatives to this linear construction. By experimenting with the construction and use of micro-narratives, this exhibition reflects on how our identity and recollection of the past are formed.

Boo and Lai, a filmmaker and a videographer/artist respectively, question their own authorship in their work by engaging with time-based media, rendering their practices transparent to their viewers. In doing so, they demonstrate the instability of our individual memories and the impossibility of formulating a collective history.
