Passing Through is an immersive video work celebrating Leonard Cohen's singular voice, influential music, charismatic persona, and inimitable stage presence. Drawing on a vast archive of audiovisual material, Fok pays tribute to Cohen's monumental five-decade career through a collage of collective memories, concert footage, and emotions that have enchanted generations of fans worldwide. As a seamless, hour-long video presentation, Passing Through invites visitors to explore Cohen's life and legacy as a mash-up concert, a composite portrait of the artist, and an evocative reflection on his relationship with God, his fans, and himself.
