Market Flux (BYOBooth : BYOB @ Graham’Super)

by Urban Rethink Tank : Martin Fung | Stephen Chan | Thomas Chung | Joshua Lau | Jeff Wong + Re-Records / No One Pulse / Alok / Edwin Lo

Participated as one of the sound artists contributing soundtracks for the installation at Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of UrbanismArchitecture 2009 (4th December 2009 - 27th February 2010) .

A hyper-realistic metropolitan texture is mapped onto an extremely localized labyrinth. As we look upon the urban fabric of Graham Street Market in Central and its evolution throughout the decades, we want to consider the theme of cultural fabrication from the meanings and practices of Hong Kong’s self-made urban vernacular.

Our interest is twofold. First, we are inspired by the existing textures and community character as manifestations of incremental cultural process, and concerned at their disjuncture with the legacy of Hong Kong’s modernity. Second, we want to make sense of the ongoing situation through creative ‘architecture’ and using re-/inter-/trans- actions.
