Homesick for Another World

Homesick for Another World: a film unfolding in space

60min performance 

2025

Tokyo Arts and Space | Tokyo, Japan
Traversing various societies, time periods, and political struggles, Mei Liu stages interdisciplinary multimedia performances in which past, present, and future overlap.

Her storytelling performances interweave documentary footage, oral histories, dreams, detective fiction, and personal reflection in unexpected ways.

She draws connections between collective consciousness, memory, and contemporary technology, exploring the theme of dreaming under oppressive conditions with both humor and insight.
