Sham Shui Po Rust and Colours

2021, Animation with, Beta Hsu Yun Chu, Sofya Antonova

The textures of the city differ over time. Mottled plastering, intertwined pipes, and playful pastel-colored walls shine under the sun. As the night falls, subtle hues from the window and the dazzling flashlights decorate the obscure sky. Bustling with mixed language chatter or mysterious humming; it is such unadorned beauty behind the rust and dust that best describes the old local style of living in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

Sham Shui Po Rust and Colours was featured at animation festivals such as StopTrik 2022 in Slovenia and VIDEO FORMES 2023. It also was included in the 2023 Relentless Melt research output of the City University of Hong Kong.
