Video Game 1986

A game that expects only passive listening from the players is called ‘Dialogue’. Video Game penetrates the facade of the so-called dialogue and foregrounds the power inequality between the interlocutors. It can be seen as a metaphor of the futility of Hong Kong striving to voice its opinion in the 1997 handover negotiation.

Videotable 1984

Videotable is a conceptual piece centring on a table, which is a recurring theme and motif in YUNG’s theatre works. A series of dialectical questions asking where ‘the centre’ is, whether it should turn left or right, whether you are faithful to art….loosely points towards power structures both in the political world and the art world.

Image of a City 1990 ( 6)

This video juxtaposes scholar Ackbar ABBAS’s text on identity politics with images of Hong Kong throughout the decades before the 1997 handover, including the 1967 riots and the 1989 parade in support of the Tiananmen Square protesters. As quoted from the narration, ‘Only something that's about to disappear becomes an image’.
