Park Voyage
Florence Yuk Ki Lee
03 dk 13 s | Hong Kong
Commissioned by M+ Museum, this series of animations delineates and navigates Hong Kong, the hometown of Florence Lee (the creator of this film), translating her personal memories tied to the city, featuring Lee’s signature hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animated video works. The looseness of the drawings allows the works to maintain temporal and locational ambiguity and thus be expansive. Not at the peril of succumbing to the seductive power of glowing memories or the sense of comfort brought by escapism fantasies, Lee’s practice playfully de-gravitates the here-and-now and tellingly illustrates contemporary lamentations and desires.
