Rewind-Still-REC transforms the single-channel video screen into a laboratory of temporal elasticity, where the laws of physics yield to the logic of the edit. By engaging with action-focused works, the program moves beyond the documentary function of the camera to explore visual experiences that are impossible to realize in our daily reality. Here, the recording device is not a passive witness but an active conspirator; through techniques of reversal, playback, and montage, the artists deconstruct the linear flow of existence, revealing the "truth" of movement only through its manipulation.
The selection traverses the spectrum from the mechanical to the metaphysical. Yuan Goang-Ming and Yao Qingmei utilize the body as a site of endurance and alienation, whether through the uncanny friction of walking backwards against the forward march of the world, or the anxious, repetitive flagging of an ideal. While Ernest Fung and Eric Siu reframe the urban landscape through the detached gaze of the tram and the slapstick simulation of the video game, Alice Wong and Winsome Dumalagan Wong delve into the architecture of memory itself. Navigating between personal storytelling and the digital void of satellite imagery, they reconstruct civilizations from the debris of the archive, proving that reality is often just a matter of how the footage is assembled.
