Acts of Departure is a textual diversion from initial inquiries set about by The Last Emporium, a project initiated by the engaged disappearance of eight vessels and a series of letters carried out of Hong Kong over the summer and autumn of 2022. Framed by the notion of the address, the epistolary becomes a way to trace various forms of movement—from persons to publics, from the affective to the economic, and from the habitual to now ravaged, geopolitical states of exception. The collection of correspondences, essays, and narratives included each make their own paths of departure, but always with attachments to underscore pathways yet to come. We hope this letter finds you well.
《離開的舉動》一書是《末日街市》的文本伸延——2022年夏秋之間，八枚漂流物和一系列書信陸續從香港啟程後在世界各地消失。
穿梭其中的書信所到各處由不同的概念建構而成，反映了不同的流動形態——從私人到公眾、從情動力（affect）到經濟、從我們過去習以為常到現在被排斥踐踏的地緣政治……這些書信、短文和故事雖然旅途各異，但也各自帶著對未來的企盼。
見信好。
