CAMPHOR TIGER CHASE is a walking expanded cinema performance that thinks alongside bruised bodies, balms for pain relief, and the chase for the ghosts of tigers. Using a DIY 16mm portable projector, the performance reimagines Tiger Balm, a traditional ointment from Singapore used to relieve pain and aches, in relation to one of its key ingredients camphor - historically used for celluloid production. Tiger balm ointment is used to create handmade chemigram sequences alongside inkjet-printed frames. Phantom spirits of tigers endlessly chase and are chased by the artists, veering between moments of both hope and futility of mass-manufactured relief to ever growing pains endured in our world.
