The work connects Taiwan’s first lost film from 1907 with today’s film industry struggles, exploring how history is remembered and forgotten. Through exploring this long history, the work shows a constant but hard-to-reach yearning for progress and understanding. In his films, Yao-Yi Wang blends real and imagined stories to show how people keep longing for progress, even when life feels stuck or incomplete.
