The Membranes (2021)

Momo's work caring for other people's skin offers little protection when her own account of her life begins to come into question. Chi Ta-wei places this personal uncertainty inside a submerged city shaped by media power and exploited cyborg labour. Ari Larissa Heinrich's English translation makes a short, increasingly disquieting route into the subject. Let the discoveries arrive in order: the point is who has been able to define a self, and how difficult it is to contest a history from inside it.
