To index my position in popular culture, existing in scenes of Taiwanese indie youth and migrating to New York and we all exist under the umbrella of confederacy/ white supremacy/ Eurocentricism/ and patriarchy. FAREWELL asks questions about internet labor and surveillance, comments on Eastern and Western cultures and local communities, what it means to self-document through motion images, and the urge to archive (Hal Foster wrote about the archive impulse.) It is another video that will ultimately end up in the vast sea of YouTube shorts but it is a way to pass down a momentary legacy.
FAREWELL (2023) is currently not available on any services.
