ELAPSE
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork revolves around the concept of "Elapse," focusing on the unnoticed reconstruction of old housing estates in Hong Kong. Through my photography, I aim to capture the passage of time and highlight the evolving nature of the urban environment.
Using the technique of multi exposure I create a visual distinction between different times and spaces. By employing a slow shutter speed and a 360-degree camera pan, I convey the gradual decay and elapse of the old housing estates. The still image of the present house environment represents the current time and space, Additionally, the inclusion of a clock image enhances the relationship between time and the house environment, symbolizing a countdown akin to the lifespan of these aged estates under the Redevelopment Plan. emphasizing the existence of the Tai Hang Sai Estate that has not yet been demolished.
