She Said Why Me 她說為何是我
1989
She Said Why Me follows a blindfolded woman as she feels her way through the streets of Hong Kong. The piece opens at a Chinese temple and moves through the city, with the woman feeling her way along the walls of colonial and contemporary buildings and wanders down streets and through construction sites. The sequence is interspersed with black-and-white archival footage of women in various contexts in the city.
The work is a meditation on female identity and political reality, specifically in the aftermath of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984, which guaranteed the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997.
