# Project Description In-betweener Yuanqinghe Peng Summary Final work Peng Yuanqinghe is a moving image artist and writer currently based in London, studying at Central Saint Martins (MRes Art: Moving Image). Her practice traverses text and space, rendering the unspeakable visible. Rooted in an interest in “space-body displacement” and perceptual ambiguity, her works often involve poetic text, ghostly gesture, and slow pacing as a way to evoke what she calls an “empathic space” — a site where thought can dwell without resolution, especially in the margins of silence, trauma, and memory.

College Central Saint Martins Course MRes Art: Moving Image Graduation year 2025 In-betweener(2025) tried to create a creature (named The Thing) as a replacement for an ever-changing mental subject. In this process, the subject is constantly being gently lifted and heavily put down.In the space they inhabit, a world is taking shape, a shelter for in-between forms of existence.These are not narrative tools, but gestures in the Agamben sense residues of an embodied process.I intentionally maintain a certain ambiguity and a sense of distance from my film. In-betweener was to establish a gap within narrative ambiguity that can invite space to become. It is a liminal space that seems to be inhabited by two performers, and these spaces guide something to happen naturally, through actions and dialogue, rather than in a traditional way. On the other hand, In In-betweener(2025) , I chose not to translate the characters’ dialogue conventionally, as The Thing being an ocean creature rather than a human, calls for translation as performance. The audience is invited to receive the film from a non-human perspective, inhabiting a space in between comprehension and incomprehension—a semantic gap. This semantic gap responds to my exploration of the concept of translation through this unconventional approach. This film was shot at Dungeness, a beach near Derek Jraman’s garden. The site, at once real and illusory. I set my filming location there. But in the end, I found that this beach looked no different from any other beach in the world. My dreamscape had transformed into a more realistic world, an unspeakable material turned into film, endlessly interpreted. My memory of that beach(together with the memory of watching the Blue(1993) ) made it visible and common. Such space reminds me a feminine aesthetic—one that is open to giving, to understanding, to allowing space for interpretation. When gazing at images through the camera, I feel as though The Thing’s body is like a multi-story building, and certain still and slow-moving images are like winds passing through the spaces between the floors.
