You are held here in this moment (2026)

Conceptualised as companion pieces, You are held here in this moment and You will not feel this way forever expand on an ongoing exploration of text and the architecture of public space. In each piece, fragments of the title text unfold over digital video footage that had been captured while sailing across the South China Sea. Placed on monumental digital screens, the works engage with the affect of advertising and its promise of comfort and security, as well as with the poetics of space and time, which point to the inevitability of motion and change. On the one hand, the videos point to the spectacle of urban screens but also offer suspension; a shared moment of tender contemplation amidst the flux of the city.
