Chungking Detour is part of Sleeptripping Dualogy, a series of two docu-fictional travelogues. Chungking Detour is born from artist Joseph Chen’s tour and dreams during a trip to Chongqing. The artist remapped the state of tripping into a remix of Video-8 footage shot from Chongqing’s trip with readymade texts, audio, video and images. In the travelogue, the artist finds himself occupying different realities, through the spiritual and mental state of a tourist and a dreamer.
