    The UNDO Fellowship 2025
    UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art, New York

    Proposed Paired Research:
    Filmmaker Bo Wang and critic Rachael Rakes investigate spectrality as a material entity shaped in the present by memory, trauma, displacement, and extractions. Together, they seek to build from theory, history, and moving image’s foundational relation to hauntedness, they propose how today's speculative documentary practice might have a unique capacity to render ghosts. More broadly, their investigation attends to land as time and space, material as animated, and ancestral relations as multiple spectral forms. From the phantasmatic figure populating Hong Kong’s hyper-capitalist and ephemeral urbanscapes in Wang’s work, to the persistent specter of Cold War-era policies, the ghost, in its temporal and spatial purgatories—reveals frameworks in the present that will haunt humanity until they are resolved.

    An Asian Ghost Story (2023)
    ★★★ New:Vision Award, CPH:DOX 2023 ★★★

    “The winning film is a story told about presences haunting a city for its complex cultural, economical and sociopolitical histories that resonate in the city today. The wig becomes a phantom limb, an amputated part of the body that exists beyond human life and, unlike many people, has the privilege of traveling across borders, and living multiple lives. Exploring the liminality of the living and the dead, the film stages various oral histories, from factory stories to therapy sessions to karaoke. Impeccable, sophisticated and with great wit, the film we give the New:Vision Award to is ‘An Asian Ghost Story’, by Bo Wang.”
