Occupy London

The photo series depicted the protesters staying in the tents during the movement of Occupy London in 2011. Occupy London is an ongoing peaceful protest and demonstration against economic inequality, social injustice and corporate greed in London started from 15 October. The movement began in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, United States. Participants occupied and established two sites for camping in central London: outside St. Paul’s Cathedral and Finsbury Square.

Visually, tents and self-initiative protestors are the most iconic symbols of the Occupy Movement. By communicating with the activists living there and taking a picture for them, the photographic series follows the tradition of environmental portrait, which is now instead represented by silhouette in their tents, to illustrate the passion, persistence and loneliness of them. Shadows, or silhouettes, symbolizes that any reformation or revolution could be initiated by anyone at the age of Internet and civil society. Besides, some reports from the government claimed that only 10% of tents are occupied all night, and discredited the recognition of the whole movement. By documenting the participants in their little private living space, the project tries to retort on this statement, and allow the readers to see the bright and colorful side of the movement.

佔領陽具

聽說男人都是一條陽具話哂事,將99%的血液集中一碌並不是零零漆的專利。雖說血液循環系統是個自由不過的市場,但大腦的貪婪慾望還是渴望快感多於理性,血液集中在一種器官自然形成「陽具霸權」。可惜其餘1%又不爭氣互相指責,手指尾被指對身體毫無貢獻不值一血,盲腸又被批評為多舊魚濫用血液,陰毛被認為與頭髮爭奪資源,腋下毛也加入戰場誓以臭狐同歸於盡,講來講去始終不明白「腦撚勾結」的可怕。只有少數暗瘡明白這個大道理,齊齊紮營佔領男人那副厚臉皮,妄想自始以後男人冇法界女溝靚模,陽具的血液會自動回流貧苦大眾。不過世界大概不會咁易變美好,宅男其實更喜歡24小時一邊揑暗瘡一邊睇AV,到時只好期望他們的陽具長期積聚瘀血要切撚,才是解決「陽具霸權」的終極之道?
