Item
50

Description
50, 2016, Preserved flies, paint and acrylic on canvas.

In the original design of “50”, there was a flag of colonial Hong Kong and behind the Hong Kong flag are the years, from 1997 to 2047. This is the period of 50 years after Hong Kong’s return to China during which the central government has promised to maintain Hong Kong’s political independence. Sadly in reality, policy change is gradully becoming a kind of slogan. And that flag (now covered by flies) represents an irrepressible memory of the British colonial period in the hearts of Hong Kongers. I did not use flies to fill in the very bottom of this piece. I left a blank margin, but I still cannot see where that margin is.
