White Blood is a multi-channel installation exploring the intimate legacies of migrant labourers within imperial structures.
Weaving together diasporic memories of rubber plantations in Malaysia, camphor extraction in Taiwan and the history of Manila Hemp in the Philippines, the work reflects on migratory labour, colonial economies, and the inherited systems that shape bodies and memory.
Through everyday objects, White Blood examines how imperial power operates beyond territorial conquest, embedding itself in domestic and bodily rituals, manifesting in routine acts of surveillance.
