Imaginary Rescripting
Kexin HONG • 2025
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?
