Turn Around
Jiamin HU • 2025
Turn Around follows Kane through the process of undergoing gender confirmation surgery at Shanghai’s 411 Hospital. The camera enters both the operating room and the recovery ward, tracing each subtle step of change in Kane’s body. Within the intersections of institution and lived reality, Kane’s body is transformed, and so too is their relationship to the world. With a quiet, sustained gaze, the film bears witness to experiences and choices that often resist easy articulation.
