| Arranged
from A to Z in 26 segments, the video looks at the
relationship between image and text. In a playful
and satirical manner, it roams through past and
present of the Asian experience within North America
and beyond, from the Chinese railroad laborers,
Hiroshima and the Korean War, to the arrivals of the
Boat People and the Hong Kong money. Both simplistic
and complex in its presentation, The Yellow
Pages seeks to interact with the
viewers, never allowing one single reading.
The Yellow Pages was commissioned by PUBLIC ACCESS through an open call for an video installation/exhibition at Union Station in Toronto, 1994 to 1995. This video also exists in another version where the image and text appear on separate channels. "A mini-treatise on race, culture and desire" San Francisco Asian American Film Festival 1997 |
