Research output: Creative and Literary Works in Non - textual Form › RGC 43 - Film, video

Abstract

A Linda Lai video / Found footage work / b/w & color / 16:9 / Hong Kong 2014 A game of montage art, Doors Medley is a re-mix of two existing work of mine – Door Game (2005, 26m) and Door Games Window Frames (2012, 11m30s), which explores visual mannerisms and formulaic structures of film melodrama of the 1960s in Hong Kong. Doors Medley highlights specifically gender paradigms embedded in popular culture. From anthropology’s viewpoint, we have created drama and we also reenacted the drama we create. Popular cultural texts fine-tune specific course of events with narrative logic, which we fervently imitate to act out our daily roles. Isolated narrative fragments, as they are subject to free combination, reveal their hidden predispositions. KEYWORDS: found footage, narrative game, combinatorial narrative, visual narrative, gender paradigm, melodrama, stylistic mannerism, Hong Kong films 1960s
