Incarnation (Boy) Negative & Positive evokes the ghosts from Stan Brakhage’s Mothlight. Boy images incarnate from found-footage film corpse. Boys and incarnation (boys) gaze at each other. Wu’s hand-processed 16 mm double projection employs negative and positive prints of the same snippet from appropriated porn film to summon an eerie doppelganger of erotic obsession.

PRISCILLA'S DREAM is a film about a cat's dream journey. The original film footage comes from the American director Carroll Ballard's 1969 film THE PERILS OF PRISCILLA. In PRISCILLA'S DREAM, real danger turns into an adventure in a dream. In the original film, Priscilla shuttles through the human home environment, and in PRISCILLA'S DREAM, she dreams of breaking away from human society, into the dream, into the state of flight in the dream, and finally out of the dream and into nature, and gaining complete freedom. This film removes the dangerous encounters and restrictions in the original film, changing the situation in which cats cannot escape from the human living environment.
