I moved to 2756 on that street since 2016 explores segregation through differing cultural positions. The hybrid decoration of colonial interiors with objects of Chinese embellishment reflects the lived experience of immigrants as individuals who occupy no fixed sense of belonging.
The title, I moved to 2756 on that street since 2016, comes from a sentence spoken by my father, the current resident of the property that appears in the photographs. As a non-English speaker, his omission of the street name reveals the difficulty of locating oneself within a social and spatial order shaped by Western civilization.
Through this series of photographic installations, I unfold the myth of the detached citizen within a multicultural landscape. Although I remain intimate with the subject matter, I borrow installation strategies from museum displays to approach it as a form of archaeological study. The exhibition invites an objective analysis of the fractured individual under the pressures of immigration.
