****** Ever-changing Monument

7 minutes / 2011 / Hong Kong/United Kingdom A work of animated documentary by Lilian Fu 傅詠欣

In this project, I want to explore the process of changing states of mind and memories through animation. The concept is to reproduce images of a video frame by frame interceded by paintings, inserts of texts and sounds.

A video-recorded interview with my grandmother in 2007 was part of an early exercise in visual ethnographic research. Ever since she died two years ago, other than her talking head footage, there has not been much left for our recollection of her, be it objects, photos, or other video documents. Hence there are many gaps ...

    A work of visual ethnography by Tiffany Yu 余智敏

    For over a year now, I have been seeing the 85-to-be Lam Chi-yim, manager of a traditional embroidery shop in Yaumatei. I interviewed him, photographed him, and we chat.

    Pianovel: I play the piano to play you a song (30 mins / 2011 / Jolene Mok)

    “Through looking into the learning path and practice process of five children, I (re-)study piano playing from an alien angle, to see, through the camera, in what ways piano is being played.” 

    The screening of the video work will be followed by discussion and sharing.

    *This project is supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council’s Emerging Artist grant.

       Just a few hours after raw noon.

       Nothing to worry about. 

       No nuisance of metaphor.

       Discard the panicking shrimp.

       Worried minute after minute, I would do the counting. 

       Havent seen you before?

       Neither have I seen anyone yet. 

       Would you pass me some butter ? 

       From where in vacuum plain is the images quilted ? 

       The adjusted musician would tell me all about it. 

       Let them urchins fall tender calculated off the staircase. 

       No animals whatsoever where harmed in the making of this video. 

       Im sick today. . . please,  feel free to have some more.

      - terrence chan

    Photo by Linda Lai: Open City London Documentary Festival's opening event, June 16, 2011

    To me, documentary is a total event that cannot be fully considered without taking into account the intention of the maker, relation between the maker and the documented, the use of the work in its life-span of distribution and circulation, the conversations it invokes, and finally other on-going discourses in which it works out its politics.

    Textbook discussion on documentary film has often been caught up in issues of evidence of truth rooted in the camera’s being there and the photographic image’s indexical transparency. The shift to clarification of documentary as a genre, thus its visual and narrative practice as conventions, often results in reinforcing the acceptance of documentary works’  narrative constructed-ness ...
