FIELDWORK
COLLECTIVE HAPPENING
A screen back event in Shigushan village marked the end of the most recent fieldwork phase (2022-23). Through a film installation, we shared with the community how their beautiful daily life and the ‘Situated Imaginaries’ are featured on screen.
This collective happening took place in the village’s abandoned People’s Commune Assembly Hall, an iconic site for large-scale political gatherings during China’s People’s Commune period and the Cultural Revolution in the 1970s. Our film installation turned the commune hall from a political site into a theatre of everyday life. Almost the entire village came to watch and experience the film installation, and they loved it. Among all recognitions, this is the most significant to us.
