Pine Street Now and Again


2019

Two-channel installation

Commissioned and produced by the Nanaimo Art Gallery for Estuary, curated by Christian Vistan and Jesse Birch.


An accumulation of restagings, recollections, and playful visual interventions that form a fragmentary and unstable portrait of Nanaimo's Third Chinatown, which burnt down in 1960 and was never rebuilt.
