Performance | This is Not a Film by Deng Nan Guang + Words Words Words

Words, words, words

Words, words, words explores the trajectory of words using a listening device and live writing projected onto an overhead projector, with the help of certain selected objects and images (film, gauze, etc.). From thought to voice, from ear to hand, from writing to projection, from one body to another, the performance seeks to activate the circulation and echo of memory from the appearance of the invited materials and the gaps that emerge between them. (Maude Trottier)

This Is Not a Film by Deng Nan-guang

An audiovisual performance combining a screening of This Is Not a Film by Deng Nan-guang by Huang Pang-chuan and Chunni Lin and a live performance by DJ Vice City (Taiwan).
After the death of the renowned photographer Deng Nan-guang (1907–1971), several small-gauge films, believed to be shot by him, were donated to the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute. This film is a re-creation based on those archival images. It reconstructs the amateur image-making scene during the Japanese colonial period from a contemporary perspective.

Presented in collaboration with Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute (TFAI) , Taiwan international Documentary Festival , Taiwan Docs and with the support of the Taipei Cultural Center in New York
