Title: Why are they have been here?

Artist Statement:

每天零晨四點至七點
我在深水埗天光墟遊走
藉意把回憶和價值重新修補
聽著失落的聲音等待新的一天

I went to the Dawn Market in Sham Shui Po everyday in mid-night at around4a.m – 7a.m.
I desire to search for memories and values there in order to repair them
I listen and record sound of lives, waiting for a new day

Description:

This is what I've done recently but not yet finished. I use white cardboard to creat a home. This is the home for the goods I collected in Dawn Market. The furniture are only white in color with black outline. The unified color structure helps to guide audiences to search for goods and stories. Goods will be placed in a significant location so as to tell story about them or lives about a family.For example,1) an Adult's magazine is placed in between the child's story books. It is because Dad dunt want Mum to discover this. 2) Baby Tom's hand writing is very ugly, because he uses a very big pencil for writing.etc.

Most of the goods I bought in the Dawn Market are still uasble and new. The title "Why are they have been here?" is a question, asking for the location of the goods. The goods in the Dwn Market were throw away by people. They have been collected by the Dawn Market street hawkers. In fact, they are still very new and valuabe but they used to be placed on the floor in the Dawn Market. I wonder why they were there! I try to guest about the story behind them as well as to let audience think about whether the goods are rubish or not.
