ISAAC CHONG WAI

In Falling Reversely (35’), Isaac Chong Wai works with performers of Asian descent reinterpreting movement as a powerful form of solidarity and resistance. Together, they study CCTV footage of Asian individuals who fell due to physical assaults in public spaces, striving to slow and reverse the trajectory of these attacks through bodily movement. As a response to systemic violence, Chong imagines an alternate future: where those who are marginalized integrate linked movements in their falling, reversing moments of attack and transforming them into new avenues of protest.
