　　"Queequeg was a native of Rokovoko, an island far away to the West and South. It is not down in any map; true places never are."

　　－ Herman Melville, Moby Dick

　　Mogas Station is itself a representative point of contact of various migrations. The multicultural, multi-disciplined characteristic of the Mogas Station group also illustrates the dynamism and the cosmopolitism of a rapidly developing city that is Ho Chi Minh city today. For the Migration Addict Project, Mogas Station will realize a video work. Members of the group will also be the actors of the film.

　　The actors are filmed drifting at sea, each upon a floating white surface, the ruins of a deconstructed of "white cube，" minimally designed and perfectly finished. We could imagine these surfaces as pieces of sea ice, carried south by arctic currents to warmer waters.
