I'm American

Are nationality, ethnicity and citizenship still relevant in a globalized society? Born and raised in Hong Kong under the British rule, I moved to the U.S. before Hong Kong returned back to China. I have then spent my entire adult life in America. I do not know much about China. I am not very connected to America either. This videoperformance is one of my series of attempts that examine the notions of ethnicity, nationality and cultural purgatory in relation to one’s psychological and emotional states through spoken languages.
