From Nowhere to Nowhere is a video work that explores the dislocated nostalgia of Sam, a Chinese man longing for the America—a place he has never visited.

The video captures Sam’s virtual journey in the state, blending scenes from Google Maps and found footages. Using 16mm black-and-white film, multiple exposures, and ai-generated version of Sam’s voice, the video creates an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and unsettling.

From Nowhere to Nowhere is an unseen hometown, a distant wonderland, and a place where longing is disconnected from personal memory, forming a gap between oneself and imagination.
