Moving image, single-channel video installation, stereo sound with voice-over, 8 minutes, 4K. The video unfolds through the voice of a Chinese female narrator. Her speech, marked by an unusual cadence, accompanies her exploration of the eerie remnants scattered across the picturesque holiday destination of the Canary Islands. As she moves through these unfamiliar terrains, she becomes entwined with spectral shadows of the past, weaving her own memories and ancestral tales into the seemingly desolate landscapes. Lost amid the foreign sites, she streams intimate reflections from a former life, infusing meaning into the vacant surroundings. The dissonance of place and time materializes in the ruins of a former leprosarium, later repurposed as a military bastion during World War II. Memories converge as she recalls a distant homeland, recounting the haunting story of a Chinese mother trapped in human trafficking, alongside a tale of forbidden affection between a young man from a labor camp and a young woman living at the leprosarium. This tragic romance draws a parallel to the suppressed narrative of A Woman and Seven Husbands (贩母案考), a censored 1990 film by Jiming Tang. Interwoven with these forbidden narrations, the video also references fearful folk practices, such as the tongue-trimming ritual used in bird speech training. The project unfolds as a series of moving cinematic tableaux, synthesizing diverse literary sources to explore the fragility and ambiguity of memory formation and migratory nostalgia. These layered elements serve as allegories for how history and memory traverse landscapes, mirroring our own journeys, and how displaced emotions find resonance in foreign realms. Alongside its visual and acoustic narration, Holiday Paradise offers a compassionate reflection on the hundreds of undocumented individuals arriving in the Canary Islands each month, each carrying their own hopes of a better life.
