into the island: poem and interrogation 登上埃伦: 审问与诗
2024
This is a series of publishing, including three parts: Personal Journey, Fragments of Documents, and Interrogation and Poem. This publishing traces the intertwined relationship between islands and identity documentation. Centered on spaces such as immigration stations, the project weaves together personal archives, official records, and island landscapes to tell a story of migration, waiting, and identity. As a form of archive, this work presents an abstract narrative that conveys the permission and prohibition imposed on individuals, as well as the recognition of identity under official documents. It explores how documentation shapes one’s passage, presence, and sense of belonging.
Interrogation and Poem include some interrogation that actually happened at angel island and poem carving on the wall.
