SPSL / A to Y offers a partial and a-chronological index of my practice across moving image, installation, performance and text, over some twenty years; less a narrative of progression or arrival, than one of sometimes awkward returns. In relation to the notion of ‘(In)Direct Speech’ A - Y might also be seen as a series of momentary tactics, that speak directly and indirectly to ideas and contradictions of ‘Chineseness’.
