"Untitled (Men I Have Ever Met)" is a one-on-one, audience participatory performance with an ASMR styled reading of personal narratives illustrating first encounters with men whom I have come to know through dating apps, mutual acquaintances, and social media. By sharing this archive of personal memory with participants, I aim to create an intimate moment where we can speculate the visibility of queer Asians, the romance of reminiscing, the social function of the erotic, and interpersonal relationship building—found in the text itself and the performance.

Descending from the ceiling, two lightbulb cords will hang between two chairs. Once the participant has taken a seat, they will be invited to indicate with their fingers which of the 90 episodes prepared they would like to hear. The participant will then be given a pair of gloves and one of the hanging lightbulbs to hold throughout the duration of the story, while the reader holds the other. The lightbulbs will illuminate a dark space and provide the participant warmth while the narrative is delivered through a pair of headphones. The reading will take about 8 minutes, after which the participant and the reader will juxtapose their lightbulbs to create an angle formulated by the number of chosen episodes (e.g. #90=90°). From this precise angle, the participant and reader will release the lightbulbs and let them swing. The reader will replace the lightbulbs if they have broken and wait for the next participant.
