Activities of Daily Living

Activities of Daily Living explores the question of how we measure and reflect on a life through the experiences of Alice, a Taiwanese immigrant in her late thirties. As she delves into the life and work of avant-garde performance artist Tehching Hsieh, her project intertwines with her own personal journey, touching on themes of time, memory, and transformation across different eras and locations. The novel offers a vivid, tender examination of life's passing moments against the backdrop of art, history, and personal resilience.
