Wong Cheuk-man
Col / 25' 53"/ In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
Ex-sailor Lam Dong has retired and lives alone in the city like an outsider. He sub-lets his apartment to Zheng Yang, a film student from Beijing. Since then, there seems to be a foreigner living in Dong’s apartment.
Artist’s Statement
That year when I returned to Hong Kong from abroad, I thought of how people seem to be always wanting to leave their homelands without exactly knowing where they belong. Piled Cloud is inspired by my feelings when I am in Hong Kong. It is like many light objects piling up together. They are very light; it is unknown where the weight has gone. Even the battering rain is light.
