The exhibition unfolds as two coexisting experiences. On March 17 and 18, the gallery will be open from 12–5 PM for visitors to experience the video installation and sculpture. Evening live performances at 7:30 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM) will activate the space, bringing all components of the work together in a unified, time-based presentation.
The presented works extend from a series of durational performances on Angel Island and the Marin Headlands between 2025 and 2026. In each performance, Hong Hong continuously walked the island’s perimeter and along the California coast. This repetitive circumambulation marked the island and shoreline's spiritual resonance, notating them as sites where miracles occurred.
The Past Does Not Need You, But It Borrows Your Mouth continues ongoing research from Hong Hong's residency with DiverseWorks in Fall 2025.
