雜思:
官方有種說法為發展,保育也要靠邊站。發展 - 髮剪 - 剪紙 - 剪香港地圖。剪紙的形式是要美麗的、中國式的,如此「髮」展香港,摺埋香港地圖,不理上面的東西來剪通花,以突顯其荒謬性。香港地圖不應純以美觀、商業的角度去改變,應保有自己的性格。

Thought:

Hong Kong Government thought that "development" is more important than "Hong Kong History". To develop the waterfront of the Central District, Queen's Pier need to be moved away. "Haircut" sounds like "development" in Catonese. In the performance, I used haircut scissors to cut Hong Kong map. The end product is like Chinese style paper cutting. To haircut (develop) Hong Kong this way is ridiculous. We should not only consider commerical and aesthetic point of view to change Hong Kong map. Hong Kong should keep its' own character.
