Item
Hongkong Barcode
Description
Hongkong Barcode, 2016, Preserved flies, paint and acrylic on canvas.
A bar code represents commerce, product, and the exchange of goods, and for me, Hong Kong is precisely just that: a mere product being traded between two countries. I used the numbers 1842082919970701 to generate the code pattern: the Treaty of Nanking, signed between Britain and the Qing Empire, was dated 29th August 1842, and Hong Kong was returned to China on 1 July 1997. It’s nearly ten years since the handover and we are still trying to find our way.
