The work imagines new spatial and bodily interactions with the past, to transform the present and expose an alternative future. Reconceiving how First Nations and other artworks and objects are valued and presented in public and private collections, the work is an immersive installation within a traditional rice granary in Wuzhen. The large-scale work includes neon elements, a collection of original and replica First Nations and Chinese traditional artefacts, traditional wood cabinets from Wuzhen, a floor painting and audio soundtrack.
