This work is a video installation of an interview with a Chinese woman from Liaoning province, China, who migrated to Karachi, Pakistan, after her marriage to a Pakistani man. In the video, she discusses her marriage and what she gave up. The work touches upon how one emotionally and psychologically deals with the decisions one makes, and weaves in a migratory narrative that coexists with an economic one more commonly tied to China’s economic and political influence with the One Belt One Road initiative in Pakistan. At the same time, the video installation uses the relationship that is formed between the moving image, text and voice, language (Mandarin and English) and translation to question what is happening between the interviewer and the interviewee. The movement that is asked of the viewer around and between the screens brings the idea of migration into the space and asks the viewer how he/she/they want to understand, engage and watch the subject and image in the installation.The documentation photos depict the installation in an unfinished form. The final screens are hung in a similar manner in terms of size and positioning, but are made with wood frames and light filters.
