In
February 1998 I travelled back to Hong Kong to
re-visit my elementary school, La Salle
Primary. Time has changed but there are
still the same Chinese Catholic boys in school
uniforms. The result of my journey is a video of
self-discovery and a structural play of the physical
and the psychical space where I spent my formative
years, shot on location at the school. Everything
that I know began from there -- lessons of prayer,
discipline, oppression, fear, pleasure, tenderness,
love, desire, and the loss of innocence. |
