The exhibition dedicated to Peng Zuqiang presents a practice that investigates the history of film and media through moving image and installation. The artist’s work focuses on the affective resonances within histories, bodies, and language, bringing together questions of memory, technology, and image production. At the center of the exhibition is Afternoon Hearsay (2025), a newly commissioned three-channel video installation devoted to the 8.75 mm film format. This format was used in China between the 1960s and 1980s for mobile film screenings in rural areas. The work combines hand-printed archival 8.75 mm films with footage shot on Super 8, creating a narrative that connects the invention of this film format with now-defunct film printing factories and with mobile projections in the countryside and border regions. Through this work, Peng Zuqiang reflects on the limits of archives and the gaps in historical memory, showing how certain histories related to the circulation of images and media remain difficult to reconstruct today.
