Train Song
Zhao Yanbin • 2022
Surrounding a hidden monument honoring Chinese immigrant workers next to Lang Station in Canyon Country, California, Train Song adopts reflective material to distort the image of the railroad, as an approach to conjure the unseen spirits from the seemingly tranquil landscape, calling for remembrance of Chinese American labors through a meditative audio-visual experience. An indignant refusal to amnesia.
