“Fake Daughter’s Secret Room of Shame” (2019)
By re-enacting classic films from various periods and places, Ming Wong has been incisively investigating issues of language and national identity. Inspired by adult films from the 1970s directed by the young Tatsumi Kumashiro and others, the film bridges the gap between the Internet's proliferation of the fake daughters (Wei-niang), and male daughters (Otoko) widespread on the Internet, and the eradication of popular culture by the development of technology. It can also be said to present a variety of values by violating and deviating from male-centered attention.

真珠ビルは、JR白浜駅前に残る商業施設です。かつては新婚旅行や観光客、地域の人々で賑わい、白浜で採取された特産の真珠製品が人気を博していました。当時の面影を僅かに残すビルは、近い将来、新世代のオーナーによって新しく生まれ変わる予定です。往年の賑わいを蘇えらせることが期待されています。
