This essay film utilizes the psychological concept of ‘Imagery Rescripting’ to dissect the pathology of collective memory in the digital age. By tracing a visual genealogy from late Qing pictorials to contemporary social media, it exposes the complex intertextuality between cultural trauma and media narratives. The film reveals how the fictionality of history is continuously redacted to construct a ‘truth’ that serves the present. It interrogates how digital platforms appropriate historical narrative logics to fabricate an alternative reality of the ‘Other’, ultimately posing a final reflection: can artistic practice hold the potential to heal and rescript traumatic memory?

監督

Kexin HONG

Kexin HONG (b. China) is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. Working with moving image, installation, and digital media, her practice explores the psychosocial and political forces that shape perception in the digital age. She investigates the increasingly blurred boundaries between reality and virtuality, the real and the fictive, truth and post-truth, particularly in relation to selfhood and the symbolic structures that define collective memory. Kexin’s films and installations have been presented at major international events such as the Asia Triennial Manchester (ATM6) and Dutch Design Week, as well as prominent institutions including LAB111, LIMA, BAK, Felix Meritis, W139, and the Nieuwe Instituut in the Netherlands, alongside exhibitions in China and Austria. She has received grants from the Mondriaan Fund and the Creative Industries Fund NL (Stimuleringsfonds), and has participated in artist residency programs at Casco Art Institute, Framer Framed, and MaMA.
