Film Lens
The film examines how individuals in Hong Kong and Taiwan use vivid colours to express their political beliefs during demonstrations. It focuses on the ideological construction of colour, particularly skin tone, in media and design. By employing sampling, glitches, and critical overlays, the work questions the neutrality of colour standards and how visual systems encode racial and cultural biases.
Through a blend of theory and experimental aesthetics, the film invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between identity and power as expressed through colour. It presents a critical perspective on how colour is not merely a visual element but a significant factor in political expression and cultural identity.
