We Teleport And Dance, 2022-2023
Photograph, DJ mix and performance

Performing a DJ set at RIBA Late, 22/06/23 on the occasion of Cities of the Night exhibition and London Festival of Architecture 2023.
The photographic artwork was published in The Dark Preview, volume 5, 2022.
The Dark Preview, volume 5 is a poster-pamphlet, with texts by Rut Blees Luxemburg, Casper Laing Ebbensgaard, Lo Marshall and Nick Dunn; and artwork (photo-collage) by Chooc Ly Tan.
I made an epic collage using clips from home-made photographs (night strolling in my hometown, collected photos from parties, etc.) and found images. I wanted to recreate the sensation of time-travelling that I feel when at home or at certain parties. I get nostalgic when I go home, but it also has a number of futuristic backdrops with architecture made of reflective materials, housing projects and bridges connecting different hoods. Socio-politically there is a melancholia to this urban landscape, which I've tried to juxtapose with the exuberance of the dancefloor. And I wanted to teleport this juxtaposition, the dancers and the DJ, to an imagined future.
︎To coincide with this publication, I did a DJ mix , hope you’ll enjoy it!
