Rubble on Stone Slab Street / Stone Steps and Ditch

Stone Slab Street, officially named as Pottinger Street, is a street in Central, witnessed a century and a half of Hong Kong history. The city develops in a pressing pace, as the streetscape of Stone Slab Street constantly changes. However, everything that once happened or existed on Stone Slab Street, shall become memories of space. Even if the form disappears, the space it once existed leaves traces. My mother spent her childhood on Stone Slab Street until the building she once lived in was demolished by the government.

The work is a collection of pieces created by my impressions on spoken childhood memories of Stone Slab Street from my mother. Four Movements were planned in the work, only the Introduction and the 1st Movement were finished. Hopefully, music could reconstruct memories within the space, picking up the Rubble on Stone Slab Street.

Documentation is currently unavailable! Please visit my youtube or soundcloud, link in Bio, to listen to the piece!
