Blueprints of an Intangible Interior is a diptych of two
pseudo-symmetric cyanotypes. The two prints are the photograms from one negative model
of a 3D scan of an interior space. Both prints articulate gradations of Prussian blue and blurry
outlines due to the thickness of the 3D printed stencil. The prints are exposed from two angles
of the scan – one bottom-up and one top-down. There is no perspective involved in these
photograms due to their orthographic nature.

Caprice (the missing island) is an alternative printing project hybridizing traditional printing
methods – cyanotype and laser engraving technology to address the connotation between
historical images and nowadays interpretation. The floating island is a fabricated structure
constructed by a procedural modeling practice with the data of a historical image of Tung
Wah Smallpox Hospital. This artwork is an experiment to the application of historical
material in a media art practice as well as to decontextualize and conceptualize archival
material.

Caprice, an English translation of an Italian word capriccio, refers to a category of paintings usually presents a group of architecture in a fictional manner.
Beyond the original form, panoramic and inconsecutive visions carry much more than our perceptions to an architecture.

This project is experimenting with the form of clothes as materials for making temporary soft sculpture.
In traditional fashion photography, models are usually being materialized as living hangers for
fashionable items. The photos are also experimentation to question the role of models in fashion
photography in media and the materiality of clothes.

This book is an exploration of Fong Hin Nam to his journey in studying piano. As most
of the students in Hong Kong, he was also being forced to learn piano in his early year.
After he finished his grade 8 qualification, he is not required to learn the piano anymore.
Nevertheless, he found that the piano becomes something inevitable to him. Therefore,
this project is to acquire what is beyond the examinations on his journey to study. He recreates
the printed materials, objects as well as shoots based on his experience and pieces
he used to play before. His creation expands his own experience to the phenomenon of
Hong Kong students learning instruments as well as to criticize the value of studying music
in Hong Kong.

Shooting with film is a process to construct images on a light-sensitive agent. I first shot
the scenes where I studied and burnt the film with the tools that I often used in the past
to imitate how my memories were fading and being remodified as my ideal form.
