I love studying culture and finding ways to represent it through art.
For my 4 years studying fine art at University, I have been trying to pinpoint HK culture, but it is so difficult. On my last year I finally come to realize HK culture is born of copycats.
POP culture and TV shows we borrow and copy from others like TW and Japan. Everywhere is full of pirated stuff. We barely invent any original products, usually another country invents something popular and there will be 一窩鋒 local manufacturers making their own version of it.
This doesn't mean hk has no culture, just its culture is a copycat culture. |
