Bday Bday and Cao Fei
February 24/25 weekend was an extravaganza of awesomeness... on Friday, a Pecha-Kucha-ified Recroom event at Videotage combined with my birthday party. Weird movie projections ("Point Blank", Tati, Ariel Pink videos), friends DJ-ing (thanks Jayson, Alex and Sebastian), dancing (at moments, more like pogo-ing), and even a mirror ball that materialized out of Franky's room.
See the the full photo-set here (brilliant party photography in a darkened room by Rachel Wasser).
Then Saturday night was the opening for Cao Fei's show at Para-site-- I wrote a piece about Cao's Cosplayers for The Fader in the winter (I think it finally appeared in January issue?), but haven't seen her latest additions to it, which include footage from a Cosplay convention in Japan, and hand-made costumes (in the Para-site installation, appearing on mannequins, but which audience members could apparently try on during the Fukuoka Triennale. The evening featured rappers from Yuen Long (whose second set was quickly shut down by the police), and an amazing dinner at a Chiu Chow restaurant afterwards. It was great to finally meet Cao Fei in person-- she appears in the last photo next to Valerie Portefaix from Map Office
