Transformation

(2023)
Video 

This work began with Vivian Ting's research into the shifting landscape of a particular corner of Hong Kong across time. A collection of postcards documenting these changes became the seed of a wider inquiry — into the city's development, and into the legends and myths layered beneath it.

From this shared foundation, the three collaborators developed a triangular, reiterative creative process in which each discipline continuously informed and reshaped the others. Wong Sin Han created an initial animation that sparked both the musical composition and a series of prose works. The music in turn shaped the animation's pacing and texture; a character from the prose deepened its narrative; and throughout, music and writing moved in dialogue, gradually settling into a shared tone for the final work.

 

The result is an invitation to encounter a familiar place differently — to hold its visible transformation alongside the stories that history does not always surface.
