Winnie Cheung: Last Call
Last Call by Hong Kong and New York-based filmmaker Winnie Cheung, a 2023 Digital Diasporas recipient returning to Australia, transforms 4A LAB into an intimate, dreamlike environment.
Soft drapings, deep red and magenta lighting, floor-based seating, and handcrafted fabric vines create a surreal space that echoes the emotional landscape of Cheung鈥檚 short film Last Call. Visitors encounter a mirrored projection of themselves within a vast primordial tapestry, offering an immersive moment of self-observational meditation. The installation explores our place within the universe, revealing the intimate and infinite connection between self and cosmos. Using techniques such as the Pepper鈥檚 Ghost illusion, the work bridges ancient storytelling traditions with contemporary technology, inviting reflection on transformation, identity, and the fragile boundaries between pleasure and pain, beauty and the grotesque.
The film is accompanied by light and sound installations created in collaboration with Bethany Yeap, Yinuo Chen, and Daniel Rosato.
