《择鸟记》是三部分组成的影像日记,从个人经历出发 ,巧妙地串联多个命题及意象 -- 以香港地质和岩石带出对家乡的情感、用温室种植比喻人性发展、以及从研究移英农夫的耕种日常以及在异国生活的适应状况,重新诠释农业生产过程和物种迁移,反思移居外地的选择。艺术家以作品探问扎根、二度植根和生长的意义,反思人类与土地之间不断演变的动态关系。

In her line of work, Dorothy often discusses the notions of identity and memories, home and communities. Departing from her personal experience as a diasporic artist, this three-part video work is a cinematic diary that weaves together her sentiments about homeland with reference to the geology of Hong Kong; an analogy between human nature and greenhouse gardening; and her reflections on the choice of living abroad as she studies the everyday life of migrant farmers and their adaptation on foreign soil, reinterpreting agricultural processes and the migration of species. The work explores the implications of rooting, re-rooting and growing as the artist contemplates on the evolving dynamics between land and human.
