Lloyd Wong, Unfinished
Lesley Loksi CHAN • 2025
In the early 1990s, Lloyd Wong began to make a work based on his experiences living with AIDS in Toronto, but he died from AIDS-related illnesses before completing it. For three decades, his work-in-progress was considered "“long-lost”" until it resurfaced at The ArQuives. In this experimental documentary, Lesley Loksi Chan combines Lloyd Wong’'s footage with fragments of her research notes to reflect on what it means to inherit images from queer communities and to attempt to understand someone through multiple takes. Rough and unprocessed, this film explores the meaning of incompletion.
Director
Lesley Loksi CHAN
Born in Hamilton, Canada, the artist and filmmaker addresses questions of invisibility, believability and resistibility in her work. Shaped by the histories of anthropology and cinema, her films explore how material culture and image culture affect the particular ways we think, remember and live together. Using experimental, handmade and process-based filmmaking, she creates moving images as mementos.
