REFUSE ROOM

16mm // Sound // Color // 10 Minutes // 2024

Oscillating from moments of togetherness to disappearance, rising and falling, dwelling and fleeing, regret and acceptance, Refuse Room surveils spaces and beings during fragile in-between states in a desperate attempt to find pathways forward within altered landscapes. We may not be through with the past but the past is through with us.

“Tangled spirals, rapid encounters, a quiet war between the vertical and the horizontal: Simon Liu’s Refuse Room captures Hong Kong’s architectural densities and lurid fluorescence through shadows, graffiti, and detritus, surfacing the tense and dizzying atmospheres of a city in anxious slumber, caught between fragmentation and solidarity.” - NYFF
