Come for the Instagram, stay for the art

Together forever

For filmmaker Jessey Tsang Tsui-shan, the transition to new media art was inspired by content. Ward 11, her documentary featuring the dancing duo Ix Wong and Aaron Khek — who also happened to be romantic partners — won the Silver Award at ifva 2020. Khek died of cancer in 2019 — the year the film came out. Seeing Wong's deep and abiding love, which has endured beyond his partner's lifetime, made Tsang wonder if it might be possible to use VR technology as a bridge between the worlds of the living and the dead.

"The idea was to place the viewer in the middle of the protagonists' memories, and retell their love story in a different dimension," says Tsang of her VR piece, Chroma 11.
