It is always impressive to view the motorbike parking areas. If you are not a motorbiker, you probably will not realize how motorbikes are being parked in such limited spaces in Hong Kong. Government provides free-of-charge parking areas in some public areas in the street. Undoubtedly these “free marketing places” must become many motorbikers’ important “assets”. However the marked boxes are never sufficient enough to fulfill all the motorbikers’ need, especially in peak hours.
For instance the parking areas obtain sixteen marked boxes (clearly it implies that sixteen motorbikes are the maximum designated numbers for parking in), however when you try to count on the numbers of motorbikes being parked, there are much more motorbikes you can find in such areas, even twenty-three motorbikes can be found!
Thus this artwork likes to examine and visualize the marked boxes in the parking area. It allow us to realize how many motorbikers are actually parked properly and how motorbiker making use of the limited spaces and how they parks “out of the box”, for sure, both physically and mentally.
