“Randomly find your own resonance in the footage.”
Walking into the neighborhood, you will meet different people and things around the corner: people who share a table with you at a restaurant, or the wandering dogs you meet in the alley. Everything is random, serendipitous, all is fate and destiny. Thanks to the “Move on to TKT” exhibition, we met Tai Kok Tsui residents with different backgrounds and life experiences, and through their memories, we experienced the unique time, space and atmosphere of Tai Kok Tsui. Peers who have been in the same time and space will always understand, and others can also find their own resonance in these moments.
The artpiece travels through time and space, using a gacha machine to carry different memory pieces of Tai Kok Tsui's community. Audience can randomly draw a set of five to six memories of Tai Kok Tsui.
We may have already become adults without realizing it, so let's grab this opportunity to become that “you” or “him” that “I” have met before. It is like a time warp, where we can meet the person who created the memories for us. And today's joys and pleasures will become memories tomorrow.
