Kinesthetic
Montage Hong Kong
Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Architecture Urbanism, Hong Kong, 2017
Esther Lorenz
Kinesthetic Montage Hong Kong explores this strong connection between film, urban space and movement in Hong Kong by capturing the aesthetic experience of this sensorial rich pedestrian city through audio-visual and graphical means. The work exhibited at the Biennale is the result of a one-week immersion into Hong Kong’s cityscape, with walking forming the primary means of locomotion, assisted by the rich array of public transport means including minibus, bus, tram, MTR and Star Ferry. Each set of film, drawing, and photographs focuses on a particular experiential aspect, offering a poetic and critical reflection on Hong Kong’s unique spatial qualities; inspiring new ways of sensing the city and possibly innovative future designs that are grounded in these deeply perceptive observations.
