    "Video Essay"
    a cross-disciplinary creative project -- exhibition and screening

    Creative cross-interpretations of 10 video artists + 10 writers



    Introduction

    Composed of two creative stages (writing & video making), Video Essay takes the dialogue and re-interpretation between the two creative media as a basis for the transformation of experiences and observations of the city into art works. Each video artist is paired with a writer and a total of 10 groups are formed. Either the video artist or writer finishes his/her work first which becomes the subject of the partner?s re-writing/ re-interpretation. Video Essay , with its theme about "transformation/ interpretation", will explore the images and culture(s) of Hong Kong and exhibit the many different characteristics and faces of the local culture and a wide variety of the city lives.
