Assignment 3 – Karen

A) I was inspiring by Jelena’s post. She said my living city is seems like a Lego district. It was so surprised for me. Therefore, I just wanted to do a synchronizing work with my partner to look how similar our country. Both of us can rebuild our similar country as the same time in form of installation. And I would like to rebuild my city pattern in those symbolic Lego face.

B) It is possible that my partner and I can use any images show how similar our cities are. My partner can also contribute in another medium form to create a work. It will help us to collect images in Hong Kong/ Zurich as inspirations to work with. It is nice that my partner is well-known in 3D geometrical form and video shooting. It may get help to rebuild our cities in the installation and other media form. Hope we can incorporate to develop a group work later.

C) I am interested to transform our cities in a narrative or story-telling way on wall in a clockwise direction.

My colorful place

This place is a part in my living district. It seems old and there are lots of reconstructions for the old buildings, but now they are painted as a new one with the colorful their faces. When I am free, I would like to go somewhere high and look down how our lively city is running. At this time, I can relax and look detailed on the flow of people and car.

For how it plays, I upload a short video on Vimeo:

Imagine Zwitzerland

The top drawing is showing The Court of Final Appeal Building. It located in Hong Kong Central and was designed as a British architecture. I just imagine some of important Zurich buildings are built in this western style with a rectangular and symmetrical pattern. Also, there is hanging some national flags to show its significance.

And The bottom one is Yuen Long, a new developing city in Hong Kong. It is near to China Shenzhen and suburbs. You can see there are a large pieces of some beautiful clouds and some lower density buildings in Hong Kong as the form of Zurich I believed to be. There are a lot of beautiful environments with plants.
