Absence – The Installation

 

Previously we showcased our proposal for our installation at Po Wah Building in Wan Chai, Hong Kong as part of the BODW design week. For the installation, we were not allowed to erect any scaffolding so we had to revise our installation to be installed inside the room. Our Arts team proposed to realize our proposal on the First-Floor corner of the building. With very limited budget, our we spent a week designing the canvasses and 2.5 days for installation.

Although the rooms have been vacated, the room were filled with furniture from the previous tenant. Staff had to remove all furniture before installation could start. Installation started on the 28th November and was completed on the 1st December, 2018 and the installation was Showcased from 1st to 9th December, 2018.
