About this title

Kah Bee Chow's 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 (2025) focuses on the walled enclosure of her family home, and uses archival footage to process her father's passing. In the work, his garden becomes a mnemonic device and the camera a technology that enacts a form of touch. In the absence of a conventional protagonist, grief provokes a rhythm of sensual close-ups and textual interludes.
