Hug Someone You Haven't Seen in Years
N年無見擁抱行動
Participatory project in collaboration with Joe Yiu, Thomas Yuen, and artist members of the collective Make A Change, supported by RTHK as part of their TV programme Artspiration
2012
This event is organized for participants to meet someone they have not seen for a long time but really want to meet again, and to invite them for a hug in the middle of a busy traffic. Contemporary urban living is very much filled with multi instant virtual greetings. What does it take for someone to stop at crossing the traffic and hug another person then wave him/her goodbye before rushing to finish the crossing, all within 30 seconds of the green-light?
這個活動邀請參與者和他們N年無見卻又期待再遇時相擁的人,在煩忙鬧市馬路上來一次重遇。今天都市人都慣於「按讚」當作打招呼,我們卻特意安排機會,創造三十秒的紅綠燈重遇,讓人抓緊一刻,熱情相擁問候又熱情地說再見。
