Yao, Lee-chun, the director of Guling Street Avant-garde Theatre was invited as the moderator for Malaysian artist Au Sow Yee on the “real” Asia [1], of which the seemly bizarre problematization was inspired by “Malaysia Truly Asia”, the official tagline by Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia. Series of video advertising with the tagline stress the “real” Asia lies in the harmony of multi-ethnicity and the diversity of lifestyles in Malaysia.

“I am not a party girl.”
Seemingly, this quote looks like a kind of declaration that sorts herself into a particular genre, timeline, spa-tial consciousness and image. The remaining images of this particular person, either in terms of time for its extension and fracture ,day and night, forward and backward ;or in terms of space for its segmentation and composition ,brightness and darkness, suspension and leap, are being given input into personal im-age(film)index system in thousands upon thousands of combination ways. The images are being constructed and then given out as an output. Therefore, it is no longer important whether I am a party girl or not. It is perhaps (or perhaps not) a lie. “Party” stirs up personal image(film) that is almost auto generated from our mind.

[Au Sow Yee] Difficulties of Historical / Time (Image): Sarong, Frank, Painter, Jim, Moonlight and Fire
(Author: Au Sow Yee; translator: Cliff Chang / Origin link)
This is not … the record of a traveler’s experiences in a foreign land. It is a series of sketches of Malay scenery and Malay character drawn by one who has spent the best part of his life in the scenes and amongst the people described.
These pages contain no statistics, no history, no geography, no science, real or spurious, no politics, no moralising, no prophecy - only an attempt to awaken an interest in an almost undescribed but deeply interesting people, the dwellers in one of the most beautiful and least known countries in the East.[1]Maybe we should start from a secret, or should we say, an image.
