The Last Bus · Invitation 470

Su He invites Gu Yuan to take part in a visual recording of the last bus run; Gu Yuan insists on obtaining approval from the bus fleet first and allowing passengers the option to avoid the camera, prompting her to redesign her approach to filming. Once permission is granted, she focuses more on documenting details outside the windows and of the empty vehicle, including people only in footage where explicit consent was given. The final work is less bustling than initially expected, but it captures the genuine nighttime rhythm of a transit route, with their collaboration having begun from a place of treating each other's responsibilities with seriousness.
