The Museum of Departures

Overview

The Gerrard Street Chinatown is perhaps London's greatest museum. Everything is displayed behind glass walls– people, actions, novelties, food items. It's the reconstruction of a culture that belongs to the other side of the world. A culture descended from a people that had departed their homeland. Through the glass's surface reflections, the artist sees reflections of himself and remembers sounds from his recent past and echoes of his own departures.
