Current Kwun Tong




27'59" sound composition | 2011



Hong Kong Government has planned to redevelop the central of Kwun Tong, where it was claimed to be too old and cause serious traffic jams. The Yue Man Sqaure will be removed and the new town will be more high-rises and a ‘modern’ Civic Square. This will cause all the originated small business will disappear in several years.

Therefore, I do a project with field recordings in the redevelopment area in order to preserve the present life in Kwun Tong. I make a sound collage which can represent my impression towards this moment’s Kwun Tong.
