Choi Yuen Village art festival -@ 菜園廢墟藝術節 Day 2

The following day of the event, I enjoyed a mural painting jam with Hofan. No rules, no restrictions, paint, paint, and paint....

Highlight of the day! I adopted two cows! The cows were used as an installation piece by an artist at the festival.

Choi Yuen Village art festival -@ 菜園廢墟藝術節 Day 1

Last weekend, ( Feb 5th and 6th- 2011) I had a great opportunity to be involved in an event at Choi Yuen Village. It was a spontaneous art festival/protest at the vegetable garden village near Kam Sheung Road MTR station. The village will soon be demolished completely to make a new high speed railway.

My friend Hofan 可凡, Leung Wai-Man and I got together to perform for the participants of the event. Our performance was purely improvisational. We reacted to the space, people, sounds, energy and our own impulses.


While I was waiting for the moment to arrive, I was breathing in such sadness and helplessness for being there. I felt helpless as a person, as a plant, as an element existing on this earth. My whole body felt heavier and heavier as I was breathing. I felt so little as I was feeling the size of this whole village.
