Hao Jingban’s latest video installation I Witness (2025) will premiere in “MAM Collection 021: Hao Jingban”, opening to the public from 3 December 2025 to 29 March 2026 at Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan.
Hao is the winner of the Han Nefkens Foundation, Mori Art Museum, M+ Hong Kong and Singapore Art Museum β Moving Image Commission 2023. Created as part of the commission, π πππ©π£ππ¨π¨ is a three-channel video installation which βtakes a sympathetic look at the memories of people who lost loved ones during the pandemic, but were never given sufficient time or place to mourn and grieve. The work quietly identifies with their feelings, which were never expressed in words. Hao assembled a group of people with experience in authentic movement, a form of dance therapy involving the relationship between βmoversβ who with their eyes closed, follow impulses to express through motion, and βwitnessesβ who observe them.β β Cho Sunhye
