Umbrella Movement
2014 Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protest started on Friday 26th September in front on the Central Government Complex at Tamar, Admiralty, rapidly followed by two other main sites in Mongkok and Causeway Bay.
A protest does not exist without the presence of its people. However over the 11 weeks of the occupation a massive number of installations, functions and messages appeared and have participated in anchoring the protest in the daily life reality of the city; they have become voices and means of protest themselves.
The 3 sites became populated with tents, barricades or crossing infrastructures. Functions as cinema, first aid, study corner and press stands organised themselves in strategic locations while thousands of messages on banners and walls talked to the world.
By recording and mapping in successive phases the appearance of these physical traces we aimed to show the protest’s intrinsic organisation and reveal how people managed to convert an 8-lane expressway and two shopping districts into three meaningful public spaces.
Now the three sites have been wiped out but this work stands as a physical testimony of “traces” the protest has inscribed in everyone’s memory and metaphorically into its sites.
