Winnie Yan / Proper Nouns: Confession on ending things with “Localized Blindness” 專有名詞－以《局部失明》作結的自白
Localized Blindness (2019-2020) is Winnie Yan's most recently completed video work, for Manifesto 2. She spotlit the backstage of the work's making process, performing the complex world of thoughts and emotions traversing within. 忻慧妍的《局部失明》含蓄如密碼佈陣，定睛創作的後台是另一種風景。與其說是心情和動機上的剖白，不如說是現在進行式的隨著她的思緒找發聲的調韻。聽一個人所訴之白跟看著一個人訴白，是兩個不同的經驗，都源自記錄的衝動。

Here is a set of notes Natalie wrote while reflecting on a film she made, Are We All Wilderness? (2019), revised this year.
