HUNG KEUNG BLOATED CITY | SKINNY LANGUAGE
In HUNG’s Bloated City | Skinny Language, the viewer appears on two screens surrounded by a myriad of fragmented brush strokes. Characters read the viewer’s outline and aggregate around their body. Responding to the slightest movement, the characters fly gradually from one screen to the next, from one image of the viewer to their mirror image. The artist prompts viewers to reflect on how they can locate themselves in their universe (Heaven + Earth) and relate to the notions of Dao ?.
