One Day trip to visit an exhibition

I went to the Hong Kong Museum of Art in Tsim Sha Tsui. It has been an exciting day as I saw different types of art works inside the same place. This is an advantage to visit a museum than individual workshop.


There are different types of exhibition including pictures of local history, drawing of 4 typical flowers in chinese culture and video installation. 



Among all exhibitions, I am particularly interested of an art work from artist Leung Mee Ping inside the event of "All Are Guests - Homecoming" 


The work from Ms Leung is called "Out of Place". She traveled to different Asian cities including Bangkok (Thailand), Kuala Lumper (Malaysia), Hong Kong, Tokyo (Japan), Varanasi (India), Beijing (China), Shenzhen (China) and Manlia (Philippe).


She used video to record city drifters in these cities and bring a message to the audience that the scene behind urbanisation somehow making someone's life tougher.  

It does inspire me to rethink what has been done wrong to the society and development. 

The art is created through video recording. There isn't any description and subtitle to the video. Ms Leung just walked behind these city drifters and recorded their loneliness.
