A video-recorded interview with my grandmother in 2007 was part of an early exercise in visual ethnographic research.

The Squatting Urchins…

THE TALE OF SQUATTING URCHINS (150 minutes / 2011 / Terence Chan)
 @ FPC, 2:30pm / Saturday, June 25, 2011

  

   Just a few hours after raw noon.

   Nothing to worry about. 

   No nuisance of metaphor.

   Discard the panicking shrimp.

   Worried minute after minute, I would do the counting. 

   Havent seen you before?

   Neither have I seen anyone yet. 

   Would you pass me some butter ? 

   From where in vacuum plain is the images quilted ? 

   The adjusted musician would tell me all about it. 

   Let them urchins fall tender calculated off the staircase. 

   No animals whatsoever where harmed in the making of this video. 

   Im sick today. . . please,  feel free to have some more.
