Lap-See Lam draws on experiences of the Cantonese diaspora, delving into migratory movement, generational loss, speculative history, and the otherization of cultural symbols through video installations, sculptures, and live performances. Her works blend contemporary techniques with traditional storytelling forms and references, taking inspiration from shadow play puppetry and Cantonese opera, as well as the aesthetics of Western Chinese restaurants. Her work creates mythical imaginations of Chinoiserie as defined by imperialist history, while reflecting on her personal family history of migration, to convey the complexities of cultural heritage.
