Hong Kong Station
Wong Wai-ho, Oscar Sheikh
Col / 3' 00" / No dialogue and subtitles
This work is set with the Hong Kong MTR as the background, from the late 1970s when the subway was first built to now. Through all the things that have happened on every level of the subway, the state of society from each period is brought forth. The end of the short clip brings a little bit of joy to dreary, humdrum everyday life with a lightning-fast dance performance.
Artist's Statement
The reason we created this short video is because we have seen how in recent years many people only care about their own electronic devices while eating a meal at the same table. This in turn makes us think back on how people got on together in the past. Through this video, we hope to portray the changing times and the transformations in the way people relate to each other.
