Vivian Wong Wing Lam 王穎琳

Inspired by Cesaire and Fanon's writings which deeply criticized the violence of colonization, as well as the triggered by the destruction of humanity and civilization from the current global political situation, (Dis) Integration is a performance response to the ambitious possessive intension behind it via erasing others. Violence, destruction, extraordinary possibilities trampled on, and societies drained of their essence. What counts as valuable, and what doesn't? What will be wiped out, and what will be re-constructed?

The performance experiments how breaking and fixing repetitively would change one’s original essence, and what it takes to go through this process of trial and error. The cyclical processes of this performative experiment speak to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit in the face of devastating challenges, and reflect on the capacity for individual and collective regeneration in the aftermath of oppression.

暴力、破壞、被踐踏的可能性和社會本質。甚麼才算有價值？我們在失去甚麼、摧毀後又能建設甚麼？
