Congee

Video Installation

K11, Hong Kong, 2012

I remember my grandmom made congee for me when I had chickenpox in my childhood. She controlled me just to have a drop of soya sauce on each bowl of congee for avoiding my overdose of soya sauce. I feel like a spaceman staying overseas. I enjoy having rice, which gives me life and makes me feel like home.

The motion of a mini creature is painted on the rice by calligraphy ink. The mini creature is animated in the stop-motion movie.
