tide.hong kong : in transit: Sound performance by and “The Metamorphosis of Hung Hom” City Tour led by Walk In Hong Kong
tide.hong kong : in transit is based on sensations of the sights and soundscapes of Victoria Harbour. The seashore platform in Whampoa is punctuated by holes which produce harmonic tones that shift with the tides. works of art are derived from the intersection between installation and performance, and draw on a practice of listening to the world. In this site-and-time specific performance, the composite of the sound-making objects and human voices narrates subtle changes in environment and the prototypical experience of Hong Kong in transit.
This performance will be followed by “The Metamorphosis of Hung Hom,” a tour led by Walk In Hong Kong. Once a centre of heavy industry, the neighbourhood has in recent years transformed into a mixed residential and commercial area. This tour will survey the old streets and stories of Hung Hom. The walking route will include cinemas, temples, factories and piers that form part of the history of Hong Kong.
