Mishima in Mexico (2012)
Douban
吴·曾 actor: Alex Segade / 吴·曾
“Mishima in Mexico,” 2012, is based on the 1950 novel “Thirst for Love” by Yukio Mishima, a Japanese writer and film director whose creative works are iconic within queer literature. In Tsang’s video, he and his collaborator Alexandro Segade shift between the four characters that make up the story which experimentally narrates the attempts of a director and screenwriter to adapt Mishima’s book to film. The video is projected in a space lit with shifting LED lights that recall the atmosphere of a nightclub. “Mishima in Mexico” will be a key piece in the MCA’s upcoming fall exhibition “Body Doubles,” which opens on October 25.

Movie

Wildness (2012)
Wildness Douban
other title: 野
Rooted in the tropical underground of Los Angeles nightlife, Wildness is a portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic bar that has been home to Latin/LGBT immigrant communities since 1963. With a magical-realist flourish the bar itself becomes a character, narrating what happens when a weekly party (organized by Director Wu Tsang, DJs NGUZUNGUZU, and Total Freedom) called Wildness explodes into creativity and conflict. What does "safe space" mean? Who needs it? And how does it differ among us? At the Silver Platter, the search for answers creates coalitions across generations.
