Hao Jingban’s experimental documentaries and video essays seek human-scale entry points to probe and re-examine grand historical narratives. During the evictions of migrant workers living on the outskirts of Beijing in the winter of 2017, the artist visits the sites of evacuation and films urban refugees leaving their temporary homes. She juxtaposes these images with slow motion videos found on YouTube that aestheticize physical violence. The pace of the resulting work, deliberately altered, references the abnormal speed of development and its consequences.
