Only Something That Is About to Disappear Becomes an Image
1990, Chinese. Directed by Danny Yung Ning-tsun & May Fung & Victor Chan & Kwan Pung-Leung.
Part of ...Will Be Televised: Video Documents From Asia. As Hong Kong readies for the inevitable change of governance in 1997, these young artists contemplate their shared history and present anxiety. Poised on the cusp of a great change, these artists mix their ambiguous feelings towards the British colonial past wit nostalgia for a national identity. The expected return to the "motherland" of China takes on an ominous cast in the light of the Tiananmen Square events. The eclectic mix of style and rhetoric that characterizes this compilation reflects the myriad of influences that besiege this international center, a crossroad of culture and controversy whose next location in history has yet to be determined. Works: Image of a City by May Fung and Danny Yung; Group Exercise by Victor Chan and Kuan Punleong; Diversion and TV Game of the Year by Ellen Pau; She Said Why Me by May Fung.
