FOLKTALES FROM MANY LANDS | Book Project

Following the journey + exhibition .. there comes the book. Retelling the story of an artistic journey around Hong Kong.

FOLKTALES FROM MANY LANDS is a project of art creation and exhibition that encourages imagination and exploration in a city that never seems to stop, think and ponder beyond. It seeks to incite magic in the everyday and encourages the sharing of stories, experiences and memory. Folktales embraces elements of fantasy vs reality, nature vs city, drifting and traveling, collective experience and memory, and injecting deflated territorial spaces with alter meaning and histories. FFML is a project that disrupts lines of narrative and transgresses concepts of artistic production and practice.

Contributing writers: Yang Yeung (Sound Pocket, HK), Map Office (Artist/Architects, HK), Jean Baberis (Flux Factory, NY), Chu Yun (Artist, CN)
