From Choi Yuen Village life to consumerism in Causeway Bay. This piece explores land use: from the private use of land to its disappearance; from village life to popular consumerism. Different land uses are revealed on the same ground.
Presented in repeated and unlimited reflecting structure, the origin of content starts losing, and finally time and place become its main content. The lost of the origin reveals “Forgetting the Existence”.
The process of becoming lost is built up layer by layer. The process of creation and exhibition follows the same principle: layer by layer, the work is gradually unveiled and brought into view.
“Within the twofold world of *Imaginary Blueprint*, the ‘Tower of Babel’ represents the structural point of origin of the city and of instrumental rationality.”
Here, primordial nature is separated, located, and stored. This work is a microcosm of that systematizing process: once the original land is handed over to technology’s binary codes, reality is thoroughly simplified through countless acts of “replication and retransference,” becoming a journey of discovery and loss within civilization.
