This work comprises 25 sequential still images from 1 second of PAL video footage in November 2019. Recorded in the living room of a family in Hong Kong filled with children's toys, the television screen displays the live streaming of events going on outside at that time. Above the television is one of my earlier works from Kai Yuen Lane. The distribution of one second of video across 25 frames in the gallery space changes the viewing of the event from a temporal to a spatial one, with viewers moving right across the space as they look, and people moving leftward in the teargas in the television screen. 


Below are installation views from when the work was shown in 2021 in WMA Space, Hong Kong, and University of Sydney Verge Gallery, Australia.
