Fairyland yet to dream: archeological site of Guangzhou Children's Park (2019)
by Xin Wei
This short video is inspired by the Guangzhou Children's Park that was demolished in 2001 due to the excavation of the ruin of Nanyue Kingdom Palace. Wei used it as a narrative framework, linking it to the discussion on how homogenized methods of production compose contemporary happiness.
Xin Wei (born 1992 in Guangzhou) currently lives and works in Guangzhou and Shanghai. He graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He creates research-based narrations using mixed media, including writing, programing, sculpture, and moving image. His recent research is primarily concerning with the production logistics behind everyday objects that carry messages of social class and exist within the society of spectacle. He purchases small projects from online retailers and commissions factories around China to witness their work process. With these actions, he attempts to create a re-narration of the production-consumption-production circle.

Those Squares (2019)
by Lu Xinyang
"Will you still experience nostalgia when the world starts to forget everything? Will you believe in the power of daydreaming? Will there be an explanation to everything that exists or has disappeared? Will you still remember those everyday feelings? This video documents the changes and memories that take place by the roads - just a small corner of a big city."
Lu Xinyang is an illustrator but now makes videos for documentation. She is a video game lover, an ordinary and friendly person, daydreaming in her conservative daily life.
Occupy Qing Xi Park (2017)
by Zimu Zhang
"I returned to the small town Qing Xi where I grew up and documented how migrant workers were utilizing the public space, particularly the town park in their leisure time. They performed a certain type of occupation of the park (time, space, mind…). Together with participatory filming from the workers and my own reminiscence, the video serves as an affective archive of the world factory coming to an end."
Zimu Zhang is a moving image practitioner and researcher. She is currently conducting her PhD research at City University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on the conjunction of moving image with new materiality and the society of control. She is also active in film curating, alternative space building and socially engaged art practices. She is the co-founder of the Moonshine Screening Project, one of the proprietors of the co-organized space Soeng Joeng Toi in Guangzhou.

《广场的角落》, 21'08'' (2019)
在这个时代,好像一切都必须要是新的,旧的东西很快就会被抛弃,什么痕迹也不会留下。一切也好像必须是快乐的,不快乐的东西会被轻易遗忘,否则痛苦不会有尽头。习以为常到不值得怀念的东西,有一天会突然随着看不到的规则或者纠纷人间蒸发。"我曾纪录的这个大城市某处角落的景象,甚至在我纪录它的时候,它就不应该在那里。"

《占领清溪公园》, 07'42'' (2017)
我回到我所成长的东莞小镇清溪,通过个人纪录及参与式拍摄,考察外来务工人员如何在节假日期间对所在的打工城镇公共场所,即位于清溪镇中心的清溪公园进行利用以及某种程度上的占领(时间,空间,心理等)。串联起来的影像素材和我对自身成长的回忆一起成为这一世界工厂尾声时期的情态档案。
