Their Temporary Night Views and On-screen Homelands 暫時的夜景和熒幕家鄉
30'16", 2024
The video primarily features images and footage shared by four Filipino migrant workers, all of whom are friends of Wong’s mother, herself a Filipina. These workers are based in Mid-levels, a district known for housing wealthier residents, offering clear views of the city’s skyline and fireworks. Despite spending much of their time in these affluent households, the night views they witness are fleeting, tied to the duration of their employment. During the pandemic, social media and video calls became their main means of visiting their homelands, with phones serving as their sole connection to family. Their stories about home and family also highlight the broader mobility of Filipinos working as migrants across different countries.
錄像由四位在香港工作的菲律賓移工提供的影像構成。他們多在半山工作，是香港較富裕的地區，常見華麗夜景與煙花。但這些景象僅是暫時的，隨著工作變動。他們的家多存在於手機熒幕中，透過視訊和社交媒體影像維繫，尤其在疫情期間，手機成為他們與家連繫的幾乎唯一工具。他們的敘述也勾勒出作為移工在不同國家間流動的軌跡。
