Again, When I Found You
2026; Film, Installation, Immersive Experience; Mixed Media: Projection on fabrics, cotton, dough, strings
Last winter, there was a memory that I kept thinking about again and again. I couldn’t stop remembering it, and sometimes I even felt trapped inside this memory. So when making this project, the first feeling I wanted the audience to have is: feeling trapped.


Because of this, I chose to use soft fabric to divide the room. I changed the layout three times. At first, the fabric softly hung in the room, like a memory space separated from the real world. Later, I started to narrow down the space with the fabric, so people could physically feel trapped inside it. Then, based on the projection positions, I turned the fabric into a guiding path that leads people toward the final screen.

The projections are shown on distorted fabric surfaces and also on irregular sculpture forms in the middle of the room, so the video becomes physically fragmented.


For me, this feels very similar to the way memories are recalled — always in fragments. Every time when we remember something, different pieces appear first. When experience this project from different angles, the audience also sees different images. Only by walking through the whole room can the memory slowly come together like a puzzle.


Now we have a memory maze, but what’s actually inside this memory? Another interesting point of the memory is that every time I think back about it, I can feel that the actual details of what happened are becoming blurry, while the feeling itself becomes stronger and stronger.
This feeling also comes with a sense of intimacy, so I wanted to bring that atmosphere into the room.



The projection and video content are ballet dance scenes. When filming and editing, I didn’t follow the original choreography logic. Instead, I intentionally broke the footages apart and reorganized them, focusing more on intimate body movements. Sometimes the bodies, they move close to each other, sometimes separate, sometimes tangle together, sometimes gently touch, and sometimes calmly waiting. I focused my camera on these small details, and they became the intimacy inside the whole immersive experience.
