Goodbye Highbury & I is a series of stills taken from a video I made the other night, as it’s now the last week before moving out of our flat in Highbury & Islington.
This has been my neighbourhood since moving to the UK in 2017, and these are the stairs in the Overground Station leading to Platform 1, which I’ve taken hundreds of times.
I’ve been one of these faces for almost seven years, slightly different each time — so it is possible that someone else (either an artist, a stalker, or the Metropolitan Police) has a similar image of me.

By the way, we’re moving out because of a 30% increase in rent, which would be a 80% increase in total since we moved in to this flat in 2021.
An excerpt from a short I’m working on with @yumeihuang_studio . Full film out this summer.

A Cloud Made of Rain in The Wind 風中有朵雨做的雲 is a site-responsive installation and performance by Pei-Chi Lee (@pepperchilee ), presented at Greenham Common Control Tower last August 2025.
Developed in collaboration with performer Ting-Ning Wen (@gladyswen ), who contributed to the early exploration of movement studies, and later with filmmaker Can Köroğlu (@cankoroglu ), who shaped its narrative language through film, the work evolved through a shared and evolving process.
Kite-like banners and abstracted flag signals hover as signs of ambiguity rather than command, as two performers generate a live feedback loop between tower and field. Extending an ongoing exploration on how social, political, and infrastructural rules shape and are negotiated through everyday actions, the work operates through participation, collaboration, and improvisation, and research emerges through collective, embodied encounter.
From installation, performance, filming, and audience encounter, the work holds authorship as fluid and collectively held.
The project was kindly supported by 101 Outdoor Arts and Jerwood Artist Development Grant.
Flipper premieres at @londonshortfilmfest
we were cycling home after location scouting for another project when we almost passed by this upside down car that sat perfectly in a parking space in a very quiet neighborhood in south london. we came back the following day with our sound recordist to shoot the vehicle & speak with residents of the street in an attempt to understand the mystery of the flip.
