House of Resistance 抗爭者之家

During the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law movement, there were dead bodies being discovered dressed like protestors all in black floating at the shores of Hong Kong. The question this video work was trying to ask is: When a protestor die, how would their story be continued? The storyline of the video was about a male protestor being washed ashore all dressed in black encountering another female protestor all dressed in white. The protestors of Hong Kong created many public gathering events to mourn other dead protestors, through these gathering of remembrance they empowered themselves. The image of the torch from the video symbolised power, hope, and destruction. The male protestor picked the torch up one by one after the girl, then returning back to the dark ocean. It is a metaphor of not willing to forget those who passed away, to let them live forever in our sub-conscious, this way we can have the power to continue the journey ourselves, we are not alone.

2019年《反送中運動》期間，香港海面曾出現一些全身黑色衣服，像是抗爭者的浮屍。這件錄像作品在問，當這些逝去的抗爭者死去後，他們的故事將會如何繼續發展? 故事建構在一個從海沖上岸全身黑衣的男抗爭者，他醒來後遇到另一位全身白衣的女抗爭者的經歷 。香港的抗爭者運用已逝去的抗爭者進行各種悼念活動，從追思和公眾集會中得到賦權力量。錄像裏從天而降的火把象徵力量、希望、與毀滅。男黑衣抗爭者在海邊撿拾白衣女抗爭者遺下的火把，再把它們帶回海裏，就好像我們沒有忘記逝去的人，讓他們長存於自己潛意識中，使我們可以有力量繼續走下去，我們並不孤獨。
