Live Performance Documentary (3:04.14., Colour, HD video, stereo), papers
During the last week of staying in Blanca, the artist reviewed all the photos that he has been taken in the artist-in-residency period. He printed out those photos that he felt joyful and fold those printed paper into origami. Those origami are being sent away in the Segura River.
There is a saying from a 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms that “a fine fowl perches only on a fine tree (良禽擇木而棲)”. Watching the birds in the Segura River unavoidably triggered the artist’s complex feeling regarding the current situation of his home city - Hong Kong and its citizens.
