Bobby Yu Shuk Pui

CURSES: FINAL GIRLS (2025)

The short experimental film Curses: Final Girls follows two women as they navigate a haunted landscape filled with traces of myth, memory, and resistance. Directed by Yu Shuk Pui Bobby and filmed in Oslo, the work blends folklore, feminist horror, and diasporic identity to reframe the “final girl” as a vessel of collective memory. Featuring the curator Wendy Chih Tung Lin and the artist herself, with cinematography by Htet Aung Lwyn and Xifei Pan and and sound by Amy Chan Tsz Kwan, the film is a tactile and poetic exploration of fear, resilience, and queer presence.

Yu Shuk Pui Bobby is an artist, filmmaker, and researcher who explores the fragile intersections between body, memory, and cultural translation. Her practice moves fluidly between theoretical inquiry and personal vulnerability, weaving critical perspectives, humour, and tender everyday details into layered narrative spaces. Working across moving image, installation, performance, and text, Bobby investigates how trauma and intergenerational silences seep into our language, gestures, and ways of being seen. She is particularly drawn to “transitional spaces” — thresholds between languages and identities, health and illness, the living and the spectral — spaces marked by rupture as well as potential repair.

GET DOWN WITH ME (dedicated to Peter Rehberg)
duration: 42’10” s (selection presented), EVP-recording (Electronic Voice Phenomena)

Composed and produced at The Castle, Stockholm in May 2025 by Carl Michael von Hausswolff.

Pita was the artist name for Peter Rehberg (1968-2021).

In August, a few weeks after Peter’s passing on 22 July, 2021, I conducted an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) workshop in Sant Carles de la Ràpita in Spain. Several abandoned buildings and houses were selected and amongst these houses was an abandoned discotheque; it had been closed for years because of a tragic death of a teenager. When I analysed my recording of that place I realised that I had picked up a voice saying something like “ – Get down with me!”. As I was still sad and darkened by the passing of Peter, I immediately connected the voice and the words with him – his records had titles like Get Off, Get In, Get On and … Get Down. The 2002 Get Down was, and still is, one of my Favourite Pita albums.

Carl Michael von Hausswolff was born in 1956 in Linköping, Sweden. Since the end of the 70s, Hausswolff has worked as a composer using recording technology as his main instrument and as a visual artist using light projections, film/video and still photography as well as other media. He has exhibited at dOCUMENTA (Kassel), the biennials in Venice, Moscow, Liverpool, Istanbul, Sarajevo etc. and in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Nicosia, Kaliningrad, Tokyo, London, New York, Philadelphia, etc. His music has been played in festivals such as Sonar (Barcelona), CTM (Berlin), L’audible (Paris), el niche Aural (Mexico City), MUTEK, (Montreal) etc. and released works on record by labels like RasterNoton (Berlin), Touch (London), Pomperipossa (Göteborg) and iDeal (Göteborg).

He has collaborated with artist Leif Elggren, EVP re-searcher Michael Esposito, composers Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Mark Fell, Jim O’Rourke, author Leslie Winer and as Dark Morph (with Jónsi of Sigur Rós). He has also collaborated with Pan sonic, The Hafler Trio, Organum and PHAUSS.

Håkon Lie has for many years been active in experimental music, developing a distinctive blend of noise, sound collage and abstract soundscapes. He works both as a solo artist and in collaboration with a wide range of improvisational musicians and dancers. Through an experimental approach to turntablism, Lie creates expressions that are chaotic, intimate and fragmentary. Using broken vinyl, contact microphones and various analogue effects, he explores the tactile and unpredictable sides of sound. His concerts are characterized by an unexpected and often challenging atmosphere, occasionally interspersed with humorous elements.
