Her moving-image works are internationally exhibited in Whitney Museum of American Art, Kunstinstituut Melly (formerly known as Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art) and EYE Filmmuseum, and selected for film festivals including International Film Festival Rotterdam, Leeds International Film Festival, Seoul Women’s Film Festival, Taiwan International Documentary Festival, South Taiwan Film Festival and Queer Lisboa.

我在2023
年拍摄了这个作品。而在
2013
年，我曾在关注艾滋病的机构工作，短短半年，知道了很多疾病的知识，但是更大的体会是艾滋病与控制、信任、关系的各样拉扯。这次纪录片的主角更是面对阶级、亲密关系、遗传病等其他的问题。罕见的疾病，也意味没有已知的解药可以一了百了，甚至医生也没有太多建议。但如他所说，对自己的身体，我们应该天马行空，思考不同的方法。共勉。

I made this work in 2023. At that time, in 2013, I worked for a few months in an HIV/AIDS organization. I learned a lot about the disease, but more importantly, how HIV/AIDS would create tensions of control and trust in relationships. The protagonist of this documentary faces issues of social class, relationships, and genetic disease. His rare disease also means that there is no known antidote, even the doctors have no suggestion. But as he said, to our own bodies, we should be creative and find ways to work with our bodies. We should think about it together.
