Aegon has been hooked on bird watching ever since he found that “binoculars shorten the distance” between him and the flying animals he so much admires. Let’s follow this passionate ornithologist and find who are the little creatures that so often land in Macao.

INTERVAL II explores our transient relationship with the built environment through the juxtaposition of two contrasting types of architecture: a cast-iron pier in Northwest England and a rammed-earth roundhouse in Southwest China. Chan uses time-lapse to accentuate the transitory movement of light over the structures, highlighting their physical form within the altered landscape.
Shifting from micro to macro, she investigates traces of human presence within the buildings, as well as the social and cultural shifts within the respective societies. The atmospheric soundtrack combines ambient field recordings including conversations, songs, traffic and natural sounds with old recordings of her grandmother's Hakka songs.

Originally shot on Super 8 film, Interval is a personal journey about shadows and memories, exploring notions of origins and of displacement. Using time-lapse photography, Suki recorded passages of time within her old ancestral house, now dilapidated in her former village in China. The dream-like film conveys the passing of time through a subtle play of light and shadows within interior and exterior spaces - metaphors for private (imaginary) and public spaces (reality).
