This experimental animation approaches Hong Kong’s built environment from the conceptual perspective of celluloid film, by applying the technique of film animation to the photographic image. The city’s signature architecture of horizon-eclipsing housing estates is reimagined as parallel rows of film strips: Serial Parallels.

Other women suffer terror every day, with no means to defend themselves. Their gender defines them from birth; society wants them to give in; male violence kills them.
