Falling Reversely

Isaac Chong Wai works with performers of Asian descent, reinterpreting movements of falling as a powerful form of solidarity and resistance. They study CCTV footage of Asian individuals who fell due to physical assaults and investigate how they can slow down and reverse the trajectory of these attacks. Responding to systemic violence, Chong imagines an alternate future where the marginalised transform their falling through linked movements, reversing moments of attack into protest.
