the perilous body: an interruption is an installation of spoken poetry and projected photographs. My use of the broken film camera is a way to render chance, imperfections, and errors as a photographic language with haptic potential. Through this language, I address the embodied experience of the feminine Asian American subject, and I particularly attend to alternatives to the funcitonal camera’s (mis)perception of this figure.
