The City That Slept is a collaborative video artwork illustrating our disorienting experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the “exquisite corpse” surrealist technique, this video montage unites the unique personal aesthetics of each artist into a collective expression. It offers a glimpse into our day-to-day routines through a plethora of activities, as a means of coping in times of uncertainty, where “normal” has become an elusive conviction.
Footage captured with Kaitlyn Chiu, Mushan Khan, Lauren Lee, Noran Omar, Danica Raz, and Qi Qi.
