Film and Mail Art by
about the art
This month we present Excuse Me, Miss!, a sound film with a companion piece of mail art created by interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and writer Cherlyn Hsing-Hsin Liu & guitarist and composer Michael Pisaro-Liu.
Excuse Me, Miss! looks at Los Angeles from the perspective of a recent immigrant, observing the things that are quietly changing the face of the city. This film chronicles a journey by and through the itinerant multiple, speculating about the conditions of local identity. The soundtrack abstracts and re-collages the geographical map into a single durational experience, reflecting the x-dimensional time/space of this place.
The companion mail art uses 16mm film from the cutting room floor of Excuse Me, Miss! to create a tiny projector. Each piece of mail art is one of a kind, using a unique section of film.
《對不起，小姐！》從一個新移民的角度看洛杉磯，定格凝視那些正在悄悄改變城市面貌的事物。這部電影記錄了一個穿越者自身和其流動多重性的旅程，推測當地文化身份的條件。此電影配樂將地理地圖抽象化，並重新拼貼成一個單一的持續體驗，反映了這個地方的Ｘ維度時間與空間。
