Swing LamResidence Period: 2024.12.26-2025.01.12 |
Residence Plan
"As a city-dwelling Hong Konger, it is almost impossible to have an open cheerful view from my home. Outside my window are other people's windows; a bit further away are the hundreds of window grilles of neighboring buildings. Windows without a night view can feel very oppressive--What I can do is only using city models to help me create a night scene that I like."
