Leslie Tai’s collaborative portrait of Guo Lifen (Fenfen), a young, working-class masseuse from Guangdong, digs into the mise en abyme of multi-level representation by collecting more than 100 hours of Fenfen’s video diary footage and constructing a faux television broadcast inside cheap restaurants, hole-in-the-wall cigarette shops, and alley hair salons across China. There, other migrant workers can watch and consume Fenfen’s real life as would-be entertainment. – Bérénice Reynaud
