Micro-narrative Cinema

​

Being in the countryside of Finland for a week, I started to think of using the materials from nature. I tried to explore alternatives of taking the colour from the seasonal wild berries that I collected from the woods, put them on the clothes and how could it be elaborated on topics related to September or early fall.

​

“seasonal [s]election” is a micro-narrative cinema emphasised on time and space, audience viewing and expectation. 4 Sept 2016 was the first and significant Legislative Council Election of Hong Kong after ‘Umbrella Revolution’ that terminated 2 years ago, it was going to be a decisive one. Simultaneously, at the other side of the world, wild berries in Finland also taking turns to make a different scene in the woods.

​

At such a decisive moment, many citizens pay a trip back to town to make a vote; as a Hongkonger, feeling of guilty comes with an absence in the fight.

2016年初秋，同時是香港四年一度的立法會選舉，也是雨傘運動後第一場選戰。選舉競選情況如火如荼，當全港市民熱烈討論選情的時候，更有不少市民特意回港投票；重要時刻卻身在外地，為此忐忑不安。

芬蘭的初秋正是藍莓與越橘時節交替的時候，這些野莓在芬蘭郊區隨處可得。

“季。選”是一件錄像作品，以微敘事的手法真實地呈現時間，記錄季節交替時內心的感受，同時表達對這次選舉的思考。
