triptych, 5 mins looped (stills)Golden is a multi-stranded ongoing practice-led research project by susan pui san lok, comprising a series of interrelated works across video, sound, installation, net and live media, curated events, and publications. Golden aims to explore possibilities for a critical aesthetics and poetics of place, nostalgia, aspiration and translation in diaspora, within an interdisciplinary creative practice. Key questions include ‘nostalgia’ as a vehicle for negotiating ‘place’ in migration, against the ‘nostalgic’ as a mode of representation; spatial, oral and aural ‘leisure’ practices as processes of inscribing, translating and performing identity, memory, and territory; and their tactical, critical representation.
