“Defense and Resistance”
South Ho with a brick wall that he built in the noblest area in Hong Kong, West Kowloon. He expressed the confrontation between Hong Kong people and tourist from the Mainland China in recent years; a wall is built to resist invasion of others and defend one’ s own interest; yet, a wall of loose structure is an encumbrance which is contradictory to it’s original intent. The work reflects the contradiction in Hong Kong after the return of sovereignty to China.
《防衛與抵抗》
我在香港最昂貴的地段 —— 西九龍興建了幅圍牆給自己,以磚頭堆砌的牆把自己圍在內,反映近年香港整個城市受不了中國內地遊客的衝擊,因而引起一連串的衝突。如同作品,作者建立一道防禦外來入侵的「圍牆」維護自己的利益,但同時牆壁卻鬆散,甚至出現自我圍堵的矛盾狀態。作品呈現了近年香港回歸中國後的矛盾狀態。
