Now You See Me 如梦初醒 is a moving image work exploring diasporic visibility, belonging and representation through shifting presence. The Chinese title, 如梦初醒, suggests the sensation of waking from a dream. Inspired by journal entries 1–9 by Zed Xu 榛子瞬, the work was created in Aotearoa New Zealand in collaboration with photographer Karen Ishiguro and cinematographer Jackson Doudney, with a predominantly Asian cast and crew. Original score by Jefferson Chen (Goodspace), featuring guzheng performance by Zed.
