10 Hours Backward: Retracing Bodies

Performance (2016)

On June 30, 2016, two artists walked backward for ten hours from Victoria Park to Wanchai Waterfront. Recently diagnosed with cancer, they turned their bodies into sites of reflection— retracing personal histories marked by illness and Hong Kong's commemoration of return to China, witnessing what has been left behind.

Starting at 10 am and ending at 8 pm, this durational performance traced a physical and temporal journey through the city—moving forward through space while facing the past—that mirrored the act of retracing: not to return, but to witness what has been left behind.
