The reconstruction of a society brings change, this is a collective reveal and it forms a collective wound. We are facing the battle of confrontation and it forms a social structure. “In terms of performance, artwork reveals itself as a wound of the society; the performance is the social enzyme of its autonomy.”
The inspiration of the artwork is from Selected Writings: vol. 4. in “Theses on the Philosophy of History of Walter Benjamin who talked about the paintings of Paul Klee (1879-1940). New angel stands here and now, ahead of the future and facing layers of ruins of the past, waiting for the salvation to come. Salvation is here and now, standing here and now to review history and fragments of wound. Waken up by the past and transform the fragmented memory so as to reflect the shining aura. The artwork reveals Hong Kong’s scene from the viewpoint of new angel, e.g. combines buildings, natural landscape with imagination to detach this familiar structure. Using the way of flowing abstract to disperse the strangeness in familiarity, signature buildings and symbols. By destroying the signature and symbols, freedom is restored. We are looking at Hong Kong and associating with places outside Hong Kong.
