In this adaptation of a work first exhibited at Videotage in 2018, and inspired by the poetry of Robert Frost, Hong Kong artist Silas Fong creates an intimate setting with a desk and chair in the landing of the stairs of Tai Kwun Contemporary where visitors can stand or sit and look, rearrange the sequence of a group of atmospheric photographic snapshots of trees, skies and the like. There will also be a sound component playing also atmospheric humming and everyday sounds of overhead, but unclear conversations.
