Screening programme: Where the Flâneur Lingers
Turning a page, reading becomes bodily; sensing lets time and space unfold. In the city’s rush, how do we keep that attentiveness?
When a hand turns the page and the eye wanders among images and words, reading becomes a bodily act—through this act of sensing, time and space quietly unfold. Amid the city’s rhythm, how do we hold on to this attentiveness?
WMA’s Book Lab invites Berlin-based moving image artist Erica Kwok to respond to the exhibition ‘When Shadow Tells Time’ through the language of film.
The five short films in this programme unfold quiet observations of time and space through everyday gestures, drawing subtle connections between bodies, urban environments, and acts of looking.
🎞 Film Info
1）APUS APUS (aka Five Meals and a Swift) by Alfie Wong Elms 8’07” / 2025
Told through a sequence of meals observed from a single fixed point, Apus Apus charts Bea’s everyday existence in the city, tracing the textures of the urban landscape and the presence of the ever-changing community.
2）Taneda by Tergel Damdinsuren*8’56” / 2025
From the perspective of a flâneur, Taneda follows the quiet rhythms of daily life, where seemingly mundane moments become spaces for observation and contemplation.
3）Pass by Suet Wa Tam*5’52” / 2021
Exploring the fragile boundary between body and time, Pass meditates on breath and sunlight, whose gentle touch on the skin becomes a measure of passing moments.
4）Two Traverses by Andy Li13’09” / 2024
Two Traverses follows two journeys on a single day: the last through Yau Ma Tei Carpark Tunnel and the first through Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel, documenting a city in flux through contrasts of old and new, short and long, day and night.
5）Part-Time Moon by Andy Li6’21” / 2021
Part-Time Moon centers on an artificial moon created within the artist’s studio, unfolding into a playful visual study of perception, movement, and the act of looking.
Together, these works invite a slowing down, an attention to moments as they pass, and to the ways time and space quietly unfold before us.
