As I Imagine My Body Moving

Elysa Wendi is an independent filmmaker and artist based between Hong Kong and Singapore. Formally trained as a dancer and choreographer before she began working with moving image and expanded performance, Wendi's practice investigates the dislocation and displacement of memories and identities, rooted in the tensions between her nomadic lifestyle for most of her childhood and working life, and her present desire to find anchorage within the remote mountains of Hong Kong. Straddling the amorphous boundaries between borders, languages, and histories, Wendi works through hybrid documentary projects, audiovisual essays, and meta-choreographic rituals to explore the auto fictional narratives of bodies and movements.
