„The
words introducing to a movie intro appear when one enters exhibition
room. They refer to continues motion, which comes as a key to all the
installation. Shortly after entering the space one finds himself
surrounded by film decorations, names of the director and featuring
actors appearing on a wall tends to the idea that the film starts
here. One has to watch it by walking around instead of sitting in a
chair. Gallery space intimately lighted and separated with a red
curtain, slowly waving, as it would be relocated from hotel corridor
where the last time lover’s door was closed by the movie character
Mrs Chan (Maggie Cheung). Behind the curtain one hears movie sound
scape. The curtain seems as hiding intimacy of someone’s feelings,
while the presence of a rehearsal is intensified by Nat King Coles
„Quesas, quesas, quesas“. Liksaite’s waving cloth echos to the
endless „Quesas“ of passing by motion, while red stitches on a
black background surges as a slow and prolonged rhythmics of the
film. These too objects placed opposite mark a corridor space and the
trace of a woman from the film moving along it, but one finds only
red coat left on a wall.“
